(www.getaircloud.com) today announced it has selected AppCarousel as its key platform partner in development of the next generation AirCloud Entertainment™ solution to provide innovative media, advertising and content services across all travel mediums throughout the world.
“We were looking for a partner with a pioneering attitude and proven experience in developing core software platforms,” said Brad David, AirCloud, Inc. President. “After a comprehensive search, we determined that AppCarousel has the qualities, knowledge and core competency to meet our expectations.”
AirCloud Entertainment™ is revolutionizing the in-flight experience, drawing travelers away from static entertainment choices into a custom, individualized experience. “We’re giving the passengers a rich lineup of media and entertainment choices, making flights more comfortable, enjoyable, and productive,” said David. The AirCloud™ team brings a long history amalgamating key brands in music, movies, and entertainment to the in-flight experience. “It takes years to build trust and partnerships in the entertainment industry and we already had that going for us,” said David.
The advantage of AppCarousel is the ability to pull together AirCloud Entertainment’s large variety of apps and digital media into a personalized showcase that is available on all consumer devices on all networks. “AppCarousel – and our parent company Wmode have been building app stores and user experiences for many years, so in some ways, extending the service to in-flight entertainment is no different from our established services,” explains Terry Hughes, Managing Director of AppCarousel. Hughes describes the innovative AirCloud™ service as a media and entertainment mall on an airplane, where the passenger can browse many different categories, access content, and pay for items by simply touching the screen.
Revolutionizing airline entertainment increases revenues to the ailing airline industry. “No longer will a traveler have to endure stagnant entertainment options,” said Gary Schmidt, AirCloud, Inc.
