Impact
The company
Although the project is on hold, our pitch successfully captured the attention of key stakeholders and highlighted the strategic value of offering inflight Wi-Fi to passengers. As a result, Cathay was prompted to reconsider its rollout timeline and is now exploring the possibility of providing complimentary inflight Wi-Fi to all Cathay members.
The team
The design developed in this project is highly scalable and has since been adopted in subsequent initiatives, including airport pickup orders for duty-free products, inflight delivery services, and potentially gift card purchases on Cathay Shop.
