Wizz Air introduces the digital cabin

Wizz Air accelerates digitalization and introduces a new digital cabin ecosystem developed in collaboration with Immfly and gateretail, with the aim of making the experience on board aircraft simpler, faster and more interactive for passengers.

The main novelty concerns on-site ordering via Bluetooth, already active on the entire fleet of over 260 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. Passengers who download the Wizz Air app before their flight can browse the menu and purchase food, drinks and duty-free products directly from their smartphone, even without an internet connection. The order is sent via Bluetooth to the crew, reducing waiting times and making on-board service faster and more efficient.

In parallel, the company has launched a six-month trial on in-flight connectivity on five UK-based aircraft. The test will allow the introduction of new digital services such as wirelessly accessible entertainment content (movies, TV, music, podcasts and games), in-flight WhatsApp messaging, real-time payments and up-to-date travel information during the flight.

The project is not only about passengers, but also about operations: the integrated digital platform allows real-time data to be shared with the crew and the cockpit, improving operational management, route planning and fuel optimization.

For those who fly, this means having more control and more services directly from their smartphone, with a more digital and personalized experience even on a low-cost carrier. The initiative is part of Wizz Air's innovation strategy, which continues to invest in technology and digitalization to accompany the growth of the fleet and network.
