AIRLINE AMENITIES REVIEW 2023

Welcome

TO THE 2023 AWARDS REVIEW

Welcome to our 2023 Awards Review! I want to extend my congratulations to everyone involved in the awards, from the numerous entrants and highly commended to the winners and the team working behind the scenes to make the Awards the most prestigious and coveted in the onboard hospitality sector. I raise a glass to all of you and your efforts in placing passenger comfort at the forefront of your design endeavours. Congratulations!

From the outset, it was clear to me and the TravelPlus team that entrants had once again surpassed themselves with new, exciting, and creative designs. It made the task of judging and awarding the TravelPlus Golden Seal of passenger approval a tough one!

It’s safe to say that I did not envy our judges this year, given the challenge they faced. However, in earnest, the judges managed to come up with an impressive list of shortlisted and winning entries comprising some of the most trendsetting designs we have seen post-pandemic while remaining committed to maintaining our impartial and fair approach to judging. This is something we are particularly proud of as an awards event.

Congratulations once again, and I hope that those of you who attended our awards evening had a wonderful time celebrating your success with your colleagues.

Supplier of the Year

Supplier of the Year, skysupply, has proven that the sky is certainly not the limit and that only the minds of the industry creators will be if we don’t continue to #rethink, #refine, #reconfigure, #reinforce and #respect the onboard passenger offering. These five brand pillars make up the reimaging of the award-winning supplier’s new concept initiative with their relaunch of new CI, a new logo and website.

Based in Munich, skysupply have quite literally ‘supplied for the skies’ for over 25 years, delivering unparalleled products and services for many of the world’s leading airlines as well as effortless co-branding partnerships with both national and international high-end brands.

Founders Andreas Lersch and Wolfgang Bücherl’s secret to success continues to be their unwavering commitment to bringing airlines and brands together to extend the passenger’s flight experience beyond the actual trip, transforming it into a holistic journey, both onboard and at their destination.

The launch of skysupply’s five brand pillars is a testament to this, with each pillar focusing on the journey of onboard offerings step by step, from its placement in the industry to the overall bigger picture as sustainability continues to take the lead in onboard offerings.

SKYSUPPLY’S FIVE BRAND PILLARS

#rethink:

The #rethink pillar places a strong emphasis on continuous innovation, rethinking how to develop sustainable and stylish products that anticipate user demands and evolving mindsets, ensuring complete passenger satisfaction and meeting the individual requirements of each of skysupply’s clients.

#refine:

Refining tailor-made designs is at the center of the #refine pillar, with skysupply committed to creating bespoke product concepts that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics, aligning with the latest fashion, lifestyle, and travel trends. This meticulous attention to detail delivers a distinct and unforgettable user experience, offering a cost-effective means to enhance the passenger journey with an added touch of class and comfort.

#reconfigure:

skysupply’s commitment to a transparent supply chain remains unshakeable, therefore the #reconfigure pillar looks to ensure quality and ethical practices with rigorous control procedures and the sourcing of certified eco-friendly, recyclable materials. This pillar is essential to skysupply and its partners in upholding strict labor conditions, prioritizing health and safety compliance, and offering employee reward schemes supported by lean structures, streamlined production, and green initiatives. Additionally, their top-notch logistics management enables skysupply to always track deliveries and maintain a dependable and trusted supply chain.

#reinforce:

This pillar is a celebration of skysupply’s notable collaborations with renowned brands and a reminder to continue to foster impactful and esteemed partnerships that passengers will readily recognize from the worlds of fashion, lifestyle, and beauty, appreciating the reputable standing they embody.

#respect:

The fifth pillar and arguably the most important in today’s current climate is #respect, highlighting the industry’s responsibility to people and the planet, both now and for future generations. skysupply use sustainable materials from certified providers and strive to reduce waste, reuse inflight products and recycle wherever possible.

These five pillars are essential to creating a cohesive yet personalized approach to each project that skysupply work with, but above all it is skysupply’s commitment to their fifth and final pillar #respect that sets them above the rest.

SKYSUPPLY’S SUSTAINABLE SUB-PILLARS

With an awareness that the industry’s actions of today have a profound impact on the future of our world, skysupply strive to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of their business. Under this particular pillar are 5 additional sub-pillars focused on sustainability that the supplier aims to fulfill with every one of their collaborations; #renew, #recycle, #reuse, #reimagine and #respect.

#renew

This pillar champions the use of renewable materials. By carefully selecting eco-friendly alternatives, skysupply look to ensure that their products are not only of the highest quality but also minimize their ecological footprint.

#recycle

From recycled plastics to recyclable products, skysupply are constantly striving to find materials and production methods that reduce waste and conserve natural resources, both in production and recycling.

#reuse

Giving a second life to products is a growing theme in today’s commercial sector. By creating items that can be used time and time again, skysupply aim to avoid the issue of single-use items that contribute to environmental degradation and encourage their clients to adopt reusable solutions.

#reimagine:

Instead of promoting a culture of disposability, the award-winning supplier look at how their products can inspire a sense of value and longevity. By designing items that will be cherished and collected, skysupply effectively ensure that their creations have the longest possible lifespan whilst looking after the planet.

#respect:

Through continuous research and development, skysupply explore cutting-edge technologies and techniques that enable them to manufacture products in a more environmentally friendly way, minimize waste and optimize resource use.

With sustainability at the heart of their DNA, these sustainable subpillars are not only integral to skysupply’s product development, but they are also meticulously integrated into the company’s own presentation from their new logo, website and branding to their stand when attending trade shows.

Refraining from any unnecessary use of material and décor, the supplier opts for a minimalist yet playful design that enhances the resources already on offer. By keeping the existing concrete floors of the tradeshow hall they avoid the throwing away of carpets which the majority of suppliers go for. Additionally, skysupply eradicate building walls or dividers and use simple yet effective banners with each one promoting their new branding pillars. With these simple changes, the supplier creates cost-effective ways to reflect their ethos whilst reducing both waste and energy.

It’s apparent that skysupply are determined to leave no stone unturned when it comes to their practices as a company as well as the relationships they continue to nurture and the offerings they proudly develop and produce. Every amenity kit is a result of in-depth research, clear communication, understanding for the brand identity and its message, the guests onboard, their needs and the destination. It’s this attention to detail that has seen skysupply’s partnerships intensify and strengthen over the years with the supplier making a name for themselves by working with airlines such as Condor, Lufthansa, TAP, Swiss Air, Finnair, edelweiss, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Thai, SAS, and co-branding partners including Porsche Design, Tumi, Marimekko, Van Laack, Windsor, Verso, Benamôr and many more.

LATEST RELEASE

Skysupply’s latest work with TAP AIR continues to uphold their steadfast commitment to reimagining what the future of onboard amenities could look like. Teaming up with iconic Portuguese brand Benamôr, the airline’s new Business Class offering takes to the skies with a truly traditional ‘Portugality’ flair.

Available in four different colors which represent iconic symbols of Portugal and Benamôr, this partnership presents passengers with an authentic amenity kit offering that encapsulates the very essence of Portugal at its finest in both its design aspect and its values. The four different colors include: Laranjinha (orange from Europe) in orange, Nata (traditional Portuguese pastry) in yellow, Gordíssimo (African butter tree pays tribute to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries) in blue, and Alecrim (rosemary, most beloved aromatic herb) in mint.

These color choices encompass TAP’s brand message “Genuinely Portuguese” and its several fundamental aspects such as tradition,

sustainability, exclusivity, a welcoming culture, innovation made in Portugal, and, of course, “Portugality”, which means living the Portuguese lifestyle. Skysupply knew that this, combined with Benamôr’s traditional roots and very modern way of thinking, creates a powerful gift with Benamôr cosmetics to inspire the senses as well as create new memories for passengers from the moment their journey begins.

TAP is proud to say that both the airline and Benamôr represent the same values, quality standards, and visions – for almost 80 and 100 years, respectively. This is reflected in the collaborative elements of the pouch where the two brands cohesively align including the beautiful logo with both company’s name on it. Inside passengers are gifted with a useful selection of items such as earplugs, a toothbrush and a toothpaste, a small Benamôr branded hand lotion, socks, and an eye mask which incorporate Benamôr’s flower patterns.

Since skysupply strives to integrate sustainable practices as much as possible, the supplier was excited to align their values with TAP Portugal’s sustainability ethos. As a result, this new offering is made of recycled plastic bottles and other PET waste (rPET), whilst the toothbrush is made from bamboo and the packaging of the toothpaste as well as the earplugs is made of paper.

This beautiful offering expertly pieced together by skysupply is a true testament to their new concept initiative. Thanks to the supplier’s commitment to innovation, TAP’s new Business Class kit It is not only a material object and a gift, but rather evokes the feeling of “Portugality” and a symbol of a personal experience.
