Sometime this year, Air France will stop rolling out the carts with newspapers such as LeMondes and Herald Tribune. Instead, the airline will offer passengers digital downloads of the newspaper or magazine of their choice, in the language of their choice, to their personal smartphone or tablet.
Here’s what the press release says:
In 2013, Air France will offer customers a world exclusive possibility of downloading the digital version of paper newspapers and magazines onto their personal smartphones or tablets on the day of their flight, wherever they may be, free of charge. Customers will be able to consult and store the day’s headlines on their smartphone and read them before, during or after their trip.
Starting in the first quarter of 2013, this digital press offer will be offered on iPad to French travel saver card users before being extended, later in 2013, to all Air France customers equipped with smartphones or iOS or Android.
Air France will be offering digital press in addition to traditional newspapers and magazines to enhance the offer of mobile services used by customers and provide them with an even greater choice. It will notably enable international customers to benefit from daily press in their native language, whichever airport they are flying from.
Both ecologically and economically, this seems like a great choice for people traveling with smartphones and tablets. But, will the airline make an accommodation for those who don’t want digital media?
