Poppy pod Diamond Sponsor

Poppypod is a standalone sensory pod that brings calm, low-stimulus space directly into airport terminals. Travellers can step inside for soft lighting, gentle acoustics, and a private retreat from noise and crowds. Unlike fixed sensory rooms, Poppypods can be placed at gates, security, or transfer areas—right where support is needed most. Compact and low-maintenance, they operate independently and integrate seamlessly into airport environments. A secure management portal provides real-time usage data, helping airports track demand and demonstrate their commitment to accessibility. Poppypod enhances inclusivity, reduces passenger stress, and supports smoother journeys for all.
