Stand by for the revolution. Everyone’s talking about the Internet of Things, and while there’s clearly much more to it than hype, a lot of serious questions still need to be addressed. What impact can we expect on the workings of the air transport industry and the lives of our passengers? What technologies and innovations will make the difference? What opportunities can we start exploiting now and further down the road? How will the IoT play out on board, as we learn more about connected aircraft? And what other use cases exist in our industry?
