According to Julie Imbert, marketing director at Safran Cabin, connectivity and touchless applications were trending in galley developments pre-pandemic. “I believe that following the pandemic, those trends will still be valid, but considered from a different angle and a different rhythm by operators,” she says. “For instance, touchless applications are now also considered to support hygiene improvements. Sustainability is gaining visibility in some regions, especially in Europe, and of course hygiene has quite the spotlight. In the galley environment, sustainability doesn’t only imply making our products more sustainable, but also to work on developing solutions to help our customers improve their own practices.” In these areas, she says, Safran Cabin believes digitalization will play a big role.
