Airport Transportation Made Easy

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The SkyLift

— March 29, 2007 — Lifestyle
I just hate it when I have to take a bus to my airplane somewhere out on the airfield and then get out and walk up stairs to get on board. Hannes Seeberg has designed the SkyLift - a bus that takes you to the plane and "lifts" you aboard. This is a far better way to enter the smaller aircrafts and those parked out of reach for the traditional boarding bridges.

According to Seeberg the SkyLift is "Designed for safety, speed and capacity, two elevators and a bridge provide best possible conditions of comfort for passengers. It helps solve problems that occur within passenger staircase - such as falls, bottleneck-effect, security risks and accessibility."
Trend Themes
1. Innovative Airport Transportation - The SkyLift presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the airport transportation industry by providing a safer and more efficient way for passengers to board planes.
2. Improving Boarding Experience - The SkyLift addresses common issues with traditional boarding bridges and staircases, creating an opportunity for disruptive innovation in enhancing passenger comfort and accessibility.
3. Advancements in Aircraft Accessibility - The SkyLift's design allows for easier access to smaller and remote aircrafts, offering a potential disruptive innovation opportunity to improve accessibility in the aviation industry.
Industry Implications
1. Aviation - The SkyLift's unique boarding solution has the potential to disrupt the aviation industry by enhancing the efficiency and safety of passenger boarding processes.
2. Transportation - The innovative design of the SkyLift presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry by revolutionizing the way passengers access airplanes.
3. Manufacturing - The development and production of the SkyLift requires advancements in manufacturing technologies, indicating a potential disruptive innovation opportunity in the manufacturing industry.
