Abstract

The explosion of mobile services and the availability of wireless coverage in airports and aircrafts during flight alike will make possible to introduce to business and leisure travelers, airline and airport personnel several new services. Service creation platforms for these environments will have to work with the continuous context change that people experience in the different phases of the travel experience, from a travel preparation at home or in the office, to pre travel, travel and post travel phases. In this paper the scenarios, use cases, business actors, charging aware system architecture and possible business models are analyzed.
