Luxurious airships traveling to the North Pole

News:   Do you want more space, privacy and better views while flying? Carl-Oscar Lawaczeck, CEO and founder of OcenSky Cruises thinks he has the solution. This week he is going to be at the Swedish Pavilion to talk about the future of sustainable air travel, that he think is going to revolutionize the way we fly, using old techniques.

The company was founded in 2014 and the goal is to offer luxury airship travels where the passengers will have their own private rooms and access to gym and a cinema. The ships will fly 200 to 300 meters up in the air and at a lower speed than an aircraft – a trip from Stockholm to London would be abound ten hours.

The climate impact would be the same as traveling by train and the ship would be run by helium, making it safer than the old airships run by hydrogen which made them extremely flammable.

In three to four years the ships could be ready to take their first passengers – the first trips will be to the North pole, Carl-Oscar Lawaczeck, says.
