An airline is bidding to become the first to offer their service almost entirely online, right down to ordering speciality coffee.
Air New Zealand is planning a string of innovations to turn almost all its operations electronic so that customers could take a flight without ever needing to interact with staff.
An innovative new app that they have already launched for mobile and for Apple Watch allows what have become relatively standard options like booking flights and checking timetables. It also features ordering of barista-made coffee at their airport lounges along with notifications of the weather at your destination.
