How Asia-Pacific's freighter aircraft will take shape over from this year through to 2026.

Digitalization is a key element to how ST Engineering’s aerospace division plans to enhance its customer service as its Asian aftermarket business recovers and the company expands its global footprint and capabilities.

While modern air travel has advanced significantly since its inception, existing aircraft lavatories still pose significant mobility issues and anxiety for PRMs due to limitation in space and lack of user-friendly designs, deterring them from using on-board lavatories with ease or flying altogether. This, coupled with an ageing world’s population, necessitates an efficient solution that delivers value for both passengers and airline operators. Using modern and human-centric interior design principles, ST Engineering has created ACCESS – the world’s first expandable lavatory to promote inclusive air travel. Developed in partnership with Acumen, a multi-award-winning product and transport design consultancy, ACCESS empowers airlines and operators to revolutionise the flying experience of Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs) without sacrificing valuable seating capacity.
