The Moodie Davitt eZine: How KrisShop has redefined inflight retail

INTERNATIONAL. Welcome to The Moodie Davitt eZine – Travel Retail’s Lookbook. It’s time to reimagine inflight shopping as an omnichannel marketplace – with the airline taking centre stage in the travel retail channel instead of being a fringe player in inexorable decline.

That was the message from KrisShop joint venture partners Singapore Airlines, 3Sixty and ground services provider SATS as they unveiled a new look for the omnichannel platform that is set to “help redefine travel retail in years to come”.

The Moodie Davitt Report was on location in Singapore for the game-changing launch, where we spoke to KrisShop’s stakeholders and to ecommerce platform developer AOE.
