PTP unveils amenity kits for Austrian Airlines
Plane Talking Products and Austrian Airlines have announced an amenity kit collaboration for Austrian Airlines' Premium Economy Class.
Recognizing the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in aviation, airlines and suppliers alike are considering passengers with disabilities, diverse needs and different backgrounds when developing new products.
Taking inspiration from Austrian’s approach to accessibility, diversity, equality and inclusion, the new kits embody Austrian’s core values and inclusive spirit: offering a warm welcome, true to Austrian hospitality, with a heartfelt "Servus."
The first of its kind, the unique pouches feature Austrian’s iconic "Servus" greeting in Braille. Embossed with raised tactile dots, each bag makes guests feel valued and welcome.
Bryony Koziol, Design Manager at Plane Talking Products said, “It was really important for us to incorporate creative touches to reach every guest in a personal way. As airlines are taking more special efforts to ensure all guests have a comfortable travel experience, we find it important that this resonates in the products we create."
Each pack contains a comforting eye mask, knitted socks, a dental kit and handy earplugs for a sound sleep. While providing comfort, these soft products are developed with a focus on sustainability. Made from recycled plastic bottles, the bag and all packaging are made from renewable kraft paper that can be recycled after use.
“We are excited to launch our new Premium Economy kits," said Anna Beneder, Hospitality Business and Quality Assurance Manager at Austrian Airlines. "Plane Talking Products have really helped us encapsulate our vision and values in the product and we hope our passengers love the attention to detail, especially with the addition of the unique braille element and the use of more sustainable materials.”
The kits are available to Premium Economy passengers on board selected Austrian Airlines flights beginning this month, available in three collectable colours.
