Airlines

The airline business is transforming. Throughout its history, airlines have faced challenging times but have proven resilient.

Leading airlines are working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) it provides the flexibility and scalability needed to reduce costs, and to adjust and innovate quickly to new changes and business dynamics. AWS offers the most comprehensive set of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) services, the broadest and deepest Internet of Things (IoT) offerings, and the ability to quickly and easily manage data to optimize operations and delight travelers.

Benefits

Operational efficiency

Efficient operations are key to any airline. There’s a need to optimize assets, improve utilization, implement predictive maintenance, ensure quality, health and safety standards, and more. AWS provides airlines with everything needed to manage data quickly and easily, while helping them understand their operations. Airlines also leverage AWS services to boost predictive capabilities – safely adjusting routes, saving on energy and fuel costs, and maintaining their fleet and equipment.

Drive data insights

Airlines are often rich in data but poor in insights. AWS offers more data services than any other platform so you can collect, store, process, analyze, and visualize data in the cloud. Deploy any application regardless of volume, velocity, or variety of data to transform customer service, the airport experience, personalization, retailing, loyalty programs, the on-board experience and more.

Innovate at speed

AWS enables airlines to rapidly build, deliver, and iterate innovative products and services. AWS allows airlines to provision and manage infrastructure, code, and automatic updates, so they can spend more time predicting and adapting to rapidly changing market trends and operational developments.
