Aya exists to provide flight attendants with in-flight assistance to create better relationships
Seeking opportunity in the commercial air travel market

Over the years, many of the caricatures and misperceptions of a “stewardess” have stood the test of time and continue to exist today. Since 9/11, there has been a growing tension in commercial travel to further define the roles of a flight attendant. Our team was fascinated by modern flight attendants’ many responsibilities and the myriads of roles they play in the 21st century: security, doctor, babysitter, janitor, food-server, psychiatrist, and so much more!

 

We tasked ourselves how might we uncover the primary meaningful experiences flight attendants seek throughout an entire career lifecycle from flight attendant school, reserves, to seniority.

FLIGHT ATTENDANT EMOTIONAL WAVELINE ANALYSED TO IDENTIFY PAIN POINTS

“Airlines need to do a better job letting the passengers know about whys so that passengers are not as pissed off when FAs ask passengers to do stuff.”

USER INTERVIEWS
DESIGN CHALLENGE & STORYBOARD

How might we humanise the FAs?

How might we reduce friction between FA and Passengers?

How might we design meaningful experiences to empower flight attendants?

This storyboard was used as a prototype to obtain user feedback.
