In the high-stakes world of commercial aviation, the safety of flight attendants is a top priority. Yet, they are the ones who bear the brunt of turbulence-related injuries, accounting for a staggering 80% of injuries. To address this critical issue, SkyPath created CabinConnect—a groundbreaking app designed specifically for flight attendants, to connect flight attendants to the SkyPath ecosystem and revolutionize in-flight safety.

What is CabinConnect?

CabinConnect is an iPhone app within the SkyPath ecosystem, tailored to enhance the safety and efficiency of flight attendants. This app enables direct, real-time communication channel between the cockpit and cabin crew, allowing pilots to notify flight attendants of impending turbulence through discreet push notifications. This communication is swift and direct, ensuring that flight attendants can be informed of upcoming turbulence immediately without alarming passengers.

How Does It Work?

Once the pilot initiates the flight in the SkyPath app, the cabin crew can connect to it within the SkyPath iPhone app. Pilots can then send turbulence notifications directly from the SkyPath EFB app, which the crew can acknowledge. Pilots can track how many crew members have received and acknowledged a notification, ensuring a full communication loop and enhancing coordination throughout the flight.

Benefits of CabinConnect

CabinConnect is designed to offer a multitude of benefits, ensuring that flight operations are safer, more efficient, and less stressful for both crew and passengers:

· Increased Safety: Direct, rapid communication allows for quicker response times, significantly reducing the risk of turbulence-related injuries.

· Operational Efficiency: The streamlined communication process reduces the need for multiple calls or announcements, freeing up the cockpit crew to focus on other critical tasks. · Improved Passenger Experience: By keeping turbulence communications between pilots and crew discreet, CabinConnect helps minimize passenger anxiety, contributing to a calmer cabin environment.

· Smart Decision Making: Powered by SkyPath's extensive turbulence data and AI, CabinConnect ensures that only the most accurate and relevant information is sent to the crew, aiding in smart decision-making.

· Integration Flexibility: CabinConnect offers an SDK for easy integration into airlines' existing iPhone apps, allowing companies to seamlessly incorporate this vital tool into their current digital infrastructure.

Understanding Flight Phobia and Managing Flight Anxiety

Imagine having data that tells exactly when turbulence will start, how severe it’s going to be, and how long it will last. This can remove the unexpected nature of turbulence and go a long way to delivering a sense of control to passengers and flight attendants. This is exactly what SkyPath does - it provides the most accurate data regarding turbulence, tailored to the route, along with timely turbulence notifications. It acts as an advisory tool to support crews to ensure smoother and safer flights for passengers.
