Award winning airport food and beverage operator OTG Management will be outfitting Toronto’s Pearson Airport with 2,500 iPads in a bid to enhance travellers’ overall experience. The rollout is planned to over the next 18 months with similar tablet installations occurring at New York’s LaGuardia Airport and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Newly renovated LaGuardia Airport currently has 300 devices installed, and the change has been widely accepted with strong engagement.
To be situated in and around Pearson’s restaurants and waiting areas, the tablets will offer patrons a bevy of options ranging from ordering meals to browsing the web and launching applications and games. As an added bonus, OTG is promising all who place a food order using one of the iPads thhat they will have their meals tabled within 15 minutes.
The custom made browser allows access to social networking outlets such as Facebook and Twitter along with various email providers and websites. Those who are concerned with the security of their private information need not worry as that information is automatically wiped off of the device whenever the home button is used.
The three airports are just the beginning of what OTG plans for its 150 restaurants allocated among nine North American airports. CEO Rick Balstein mentioned in a recent PCMag article that tens of thousands of Apple tablets will be shipped.
“This will be the largest deployment of free-use iPads out there, other than the Apple Stores,” he shared.
Pearson Airport is located west of Toronto and serves a remarkable 33.4 million passengers in the 2011 calendar year (thanks Wikipedia). The country’s busiest airport will now be its most technologically advanced as well thanks to their iPad assisted service.
