From a cabin concept that completely eradicates the middle seat to a swanky design that takes single-aisle aircraft business class to a new level, this year’s Crystal Cabin Awards shortlist offers an exciting glimpse at aviation’s potential future.
Every year the Crystal Cabin Awards showcase innovative ideas that reconceptualise the airplane cabin experience.
There are eight categories, with awards spotlighting everything from eco-friendly innovations – such as an AI-based food waste app idea from German airline Lufthansa – to next generation concepts straight from the university classroom.

Air New Zealand’s “Skynest” economy sleeping concept, pictured here, is among the shortlisted entries for this year’s Crystal Cabin Awards.
Air New Zealand has been working on SkyNest for several years, with the concept first revealed back in 2020.
Work’s now firmly underway to make the project a reality – the airline is currently “working through the in-depth certification and engineering detail of having the Skynest on our new 787 aircraft.”
