Bassoul believes that Baleària is synonymous with innovation, which is particularly apparent in the operator’s use of technology. “Passengers will be able to find their allocated seat thanks to a QR code that they will receive via WhatsApp,” says Bassoul. “They will have internet access, WhatsApp coverage, and a digital entertainment platform with films, magazines and games. Passengers will also be able to order food and drinks from the digital platform.” Baleària is also using innovative technology to improve sustainability. “The measuring equipment installed on Eleanor Roosevelt will enable us to monitor real fuel consumption and calculate the efficiency of the engines,” says Bassoul. “Sensors will also provide real-time information for efficient navigation, as well as adjusting the speed and course to increase comfort.” CFI The VIP lounge features a 180-degree smart-glass window that automatically adjusts to the sun’s conditions
