Etihad Airways improves sleep quality of its passengers:

Etihad Airways aims to improve sleep quality on its long-haul flights.
Etihad Airways has been working closely with a panel of sleep experts from the American Centre for Psychiatry and Neurology (ACPN) in Abu Dhabi to research ways to enhance sleep in-flight.

Etihad Airways has received expert guidance from the ACPN on sleep hygiene and on-board wellbeing, and has developed comprehensive guidelines for sleep in-flight, created for the airline’s guests as a result of clinical studies carried out by the ACPN on patients experiencing effects related to long-haul flying.

Peter Baumgartner, Chief Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways said, “We understand that sleep is an important requirement for our guests, many of whom fly multiple journeys with us each year.

For this reason, we will continue ensuring greater levels of comfort and wellbeing on our flights. The research we have carried out in collaboration with the experts at the ACPN will allow us to significantly improve the cabin environment for our guests and to provide targeted investment in our on-board experience for tangible customer benefit.”

A core part of Etihad Airways’ sleep initiative is the introduction of luxury all-natural bedding by COCO-MAT in Diamond First Class. Athens-based COCO-MAT, widely considered the world’s leading manufacturer of sustainably sourced sleep products, has designed an exclusive multi-layered sleep system mattress for Etihad Airways’ Diamond First Class suites.

The unique mattress is made from extracts of the Hevea tree, a healthier alternative to standard petroleum-based foams. This natural rubber is known for its elasticity and is perforated with tiny holes to create a perfect ventilation system, enabling the material to breathe and regulate body temperature. The new bedding set features a 100 per cent cotton fitted sheet and a large down feather duvet and pillow. Etihad Airways is the only airline in the world to provide this bespoke product.

The airline aims to enhance the sleep experience by focusing on the senses of touch, sight, sound, aroma and taste. Fine cotton Heather Grey sleepsuits, unique pillow mist, pulse point oil and a selection of Bergamote 22 toiletries by New York brand, Le Labo now feature as part of its First Class sleep amenities. High quality comforters, blankets, pillows are provided in Pearl Business Class and Coral Economy Class respectively, along with unique Sougha amenity kits, inspired by traditional Emirati artisanal designs in all classes.

To minimise the effects of ambient cabin sounds, Etihad Airways provides noise cancellation headphones in all three classes. Furthermore, to counteract harsh light, all cabins feature advanced mood-lighting systems.

Home comforts such as a sleep-time beverage service including hot chocolate and herbal teas are to be offered in all three classes. In Diamond First Class, sleep-inducing chamomile tea and a range of malt drinks will be added to the airline’s already extensive drinks selection as part of the sleep experience

History of SriLankan Airline:

Air Lanka, made its inaugural flight on September 1, 1979. The company was a new entity with no links to defunct Air Ceylon, and formed with managerial and technical assistance from Singapore Airlines (SIA), who also provided two Boeing 707-300Bs.

With expansion of the route network, a Boeing 737-200 was added to serve regional destinations. In 1980 Air Lanka purchased the two Boeing 707s from SIA, and also leased a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar from Air Canada. It was the first of 16 TriStars, either leased or purchased, that Air Lanka would operate over the next 20 years.

While Air Lanka concentrated only on international and regional routes, it was left to a miscellany of private airline operators to provide often-sporadic domestic service from 1980 onward, using a variety of Soviet- and Western-built airplanes and helicopters. These companies included Upali Aviation, Lionair, Ace Airtours, Sky Cabs, LankAir, Monara Air, Expo Aviation, and Serendib Express.
To serve burgeoning tourist traffic to the island, Air Lanka obtained two Boeing 747-200Bs in 1984 and 1985. But these were disposed of not long afterward; the operating economics of the ‘jumbo jets’—coupled with a dramatic decline in tourist numbers due to Sri Lanka’s deteriorating security situation—soon rendered them aeronautical white elephants.

Air Lanka made a quantum leap in December 1992 by introducing the first of two Airbus A320-200 jetliners. Incorporating the latest in computerized, fly-by-wire technology, the twin-jet A320 was followed by its larger and even more sophisticated four-engine sibling, the A340-300, in September 1994. Air Lanka had the honour of being the first Asian airline to operate the A340, an airplane that also gave the Lankan carrier the capability to operate long-haul services previously not possible.

On April 1, 1998 Air Lanka was partially privatized, when Emirates—one of the world’s leading airlines—purchased a 40% stake, with management rights for the next ten years. As part of a plan encompassing introduction of a new corporate culture into Air Lanka and enhancements to service quality throughout the airline, an order was placed for Airbus A330-200 airplanes, twin-engine ‘stablemates’ to the A340.

Perhaps the most significant milestone in the airline’s history came on July 13, 1999, when a new logo, airplane livery and, most importantly, a new name—SriLankan Airlines—was launched. The distinction of featuring the latest colour scheme went to the airline’s fourth, recently-acquired A340, whose first landing in Colombo heralded the official unveiling ceremony for SriLankan Airlines’ new corporate image. A few months later, the first of the A330s arrived to another festive welcome.

British Airways Hits Historic High:

British Airways has powered up its newest flight simulator, taking the number used by the airline to train its pilots to 18 - the highest ever.

To mark hitting the record number the airline has released photos showing flight simulators dating back to the 1930s.

The new addition, a full-motion Airbus A320 simulator, features the latest in flight training technology, allowing pilot instructors to link their iPads to the simulator to control each training session.

British Airways’ head of flight technical and training, Captain David Thomas, said: “We’re proud to continue to provide our pilots with cutting-edge technology to train on.

“We have a long history of training our own pilots using flight simulators, which has seen huge technological advances over the decades.
“With additions like this new A320 simulator, we can continue to set the highest standards in flight safety and training that our customers expect from British Airways.”

The simulator will be used to train some of British Airways’ 3,600 pilots who fly any of the A320 family of aircraft – serving domestic and European destinations on the airline’s network.

The investment in the new simulator reflects increased demand following the airline’s introduction of new A320s, A380s, 787s and 777-300s.
British Airways’ pilot numbers have also been increasing following the success of the airline’s pilot cadet scheme, now in its third year.
The programme sees newly trained pilots start their British Airways flying career on its A320 fleet.

The new A320 simulator is part of the company’s £5bn investment in new products and technology to provide the best possible flying experience for British Airways’ customers.
