Diehl Aerospace CEO Florian Maier has suggested that advancements in cabin equipment and digital backbones may ultimately reduce the required number of flight attendants on flights. The company is working on enabling technologies, including connected cabin systems that could facilitate faster boarding, improve the passenger experience, and enhance safety.
