New York, New York, 17 December, 2013 – Air Transport World has called it “The first and only comprehensive survey of commercial aircraft design from the ’70s to the new Millennium.” In 2013, JETLINER CABINS is still the only book of its kind, carefully detailing the fundamentals of aircraft interiors and related programmes. JETLINER CABINS, published in Hard Cover in 2003 and in Paperback in 2006, identified trend-setting airlines and suppliers, while tracking and illustrating the progression of interior programmes (from carpets to bulkheads and everything in-between) during the course of modern commercial aviation history.
One decade later (and just in time to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina) JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation is well into development as a digital re-invention of Jennifer’s classic book. In just a few short months, industry insiders and aviation enthusiasts alike will be able to experience the book as they never have before, interactively and on their iOS and Android-based mobile devices.
With four major sections covering: Product Branding, Passenger Experience, Cabin Maintenance and Marketing Challenge, the JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation E-Book App features a sleek and modern design, updated original content, approximately 30 per cent all-new material and 2,000 additional all-colour pictures, ranging from vintage to state-of-the-art.

On the forthcoming release of the E-Book App, Jennifer commented: “I am delighted to see the E-Book development of JETLINER CABINS: Evolution & Innovation. From the reviews of the two earlier Editions it was clear that the material was of interest not just to aviation enthusiasts but also to a much wider readership. Thanks to advances in digital publishing, we can now navigate the content according to personal preference. I hope that Readers will enjoy visiting the hundreds of aircraft-interior scenarios that are portrayed in this new Edition.”
