Yes, it’s April first again. For most of us, it’s the most annoying day of the year, with people (and companies) trying hard to prank each other. In their continuing spirit of the day, WestJet has once again released its annual April Fools’ video. This year WestJet has tried to improve their inflight service by eliminating the need for a food and beverage cart, which blocks aisles. Their new system, RALFH (Robotic Automated Light Food Handler) operates on a track overhead above the aisle.
Meet RALFH, WestJet’s newest innovation
RALFH Provides “incredible guest service” using a powerful memory, a facial-recognition camera and an audio conveyance system that allows it to interact with guests while delivering food and beverage orders. Take a look at the April Fools’ Day video below:
