Air New Zealand's Economy Bunk Beds Win Crystal Cabin Award for Aircraft Innovation.
Air New Zealand's Skynest, which offers bunk beds in economy class, won the cabin concepts award at the 2022 Aircraft Interiors Expo. The Crystal Cabin Awards celebrate innovation in airplane cabin interiors and recognize ideas that are exciting and becoming a reality. Other winners include Collins Aerospace's InteliSence concept, Lantal Textiles' Deep Dyed Carpet, and Technical University of Delft's Lightweight Aircraft Seating. The awards suggest the aviation industry is starting to reckon with its environmental impact, although there's still a long way to go.
