ATR Highlights Innovation for Passengers
ATR recently attended the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg. The company’s presence at one of the world’s largest events dedicated to the design and furnishing of aircraft cabin interiors underlined the manufacturer’s commitment to passenger comfort and wellness.
At AIX, ATR demonstrated the prototype of Audioback, a hearing aid loop designed to capture any audio input, such as inflight announcements, and send it to the passengers’ hearing aids equipped with a Telecoil, via a magnetic field signal. Audioback is an innovation that will help improve the on-board experience of hard of hearing travellers and the airlines’ responses to their specific needs.
At the event, ATR also discussed improvements of the cabin environment for visually impaired passengers, such as safety instruction cards in Braille.
Additionally, ATR displayed Cabinstream, its in-flight entertainment system launched in 2018, which gives operators the option of introducing wireless connectivity into the ATR cabin, allowing passengers to access a variety of multimedia content on their personal electronic devices.
Visitors to the ATR stand were also able to experience the ergonomics and comfort of the new 18-inch wide “Neo-Classic” and “Neo-Prestige” seats. Standard on all ATR aircraft since July 2018, they are easily retrofittable on previous generation aircraft.
