Croatia Airlines has introduced a new onboard announcement system on its Airbus A220 fleet featuring recordings in fourteen languages. The multilingual announcement package was produced by Zagreb-based Jukebox Studio and is used for passenger welcome, safety and onboard service messages. The project forms part of the carrier's ongoing A220 fleet renewal programme, which is seeing Croatia Airlines gradually transition to an all-A220 fleet.

The project forms part of the carrier's ongoing A220 fleet renewal programme, which is seeing Croatia Airlines gradually transition to an all-A220 fleet.
According to Jukebox Studio, the recordings were produced in fourteen different languages. The voices used in the recordings were provided by Croatia Airlines cabin crew members. The languages played onboard depend on the destination or the passenger structure.
For an airline that flies mostly to Western Europe, this is such a waste of money. Just do the announcements in English and Croatian and move on. I remember back in the days, Adria doing it in Slovenian, English and German. They would read it so fast and with a thick accent. On top of that the noise and the sound system on those planes were horrible, so you could barely understand anything they were saying :)
ReplyDeleteFinally they made this turning step. This will change everything. Bold move.
DeleteThese are not being read out in thick accents, these are pre-recorded.
DeleteIf the audio quality is good (and I hope it is in new A220) then it's a cute little thing. Shouldn't be expensive to rent a studio for a day and upload recordings.
Delete14 languages? Jeez, this is going to be long.
Deletethey have the announcements in 14 languages- doesnt mean they will play all- duh!
DeleteGreat news, OU is always one step ahead of the rest.
ReplyDeleteOn Air Baltic they have been doing this for years.
DeleteNot to mention LCCs
DeleteThis video is actually very cool
ReplyDeleteDo we know which 14 languages? Was it Greek and Slovenian in the video? Or some other Slavic language?
ReplyDeleteCroatian, Serbian, German, Austrian...
DeleteRussian?
ReplyDeleteIt is Macedonian.
DeleteAnother deal between party apparatchiks that will be paid for by Croatian taxpayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for my taxes to be invested into OU! As a Croat I'm proud of my National Airline. The money we get back from tourism taxes is much more then what we pay in.
DeleteNothing to be proud about. Its rubbish
DeleteSelo gori a baba se češlja
ReplyDeleteHardcore hahah
DeleteA futile effort, nobody listens to those announcements anyway.
ReplyDeleteAirlines have been doing this for years
