With sponsorship from a European Union research initiative, design agency Edenspiekermann devised an app that aggregates information in the hopes of making international air travel easier. The concept would allow users to organize airport routes, flight information, public transportation and tickets in a singular smartphone application. With so many languages spoken in the EU, this app helps to make international air travel more manoeuvrable.
The Info Connectivity System, according to Edenspiekermann Amsterdam service designer Sophie Dobber, will be "a one-stop shop that provides passengers with all the right travel information in the right context and the right language." Once developed, the app should make international airports less complicated to get around and make travelling more convenient.
