Qantas has become the latest airline planning to release an app on the new Apple Watch when it is launched in the UK next month.
Qantas’ app will send wearers notifications about gate changes, where to collect their luggage and other flight information.
The device will also relay any messages sent to a customer’s smartphone app to the Apple Watch, as long as the phone is in their pocket or carry-on luggage.
Steve Limbrick, Qantas’ executive manager of customer and commercial, said: “We have worked closely with Apple and today’s announcement builds on Qantas’ existing use of the company’s technology.
“We are very excited to be adding this new technology to the other innovations we have recently launched such as ‘Auto Check In’ which allows customers on our domestic services to check in for their flight via SMS in just three clicks.”
