Cloud computing – a new dawn
Cloud computing is the hottest trend in corporate computing right now and air transport companies have not been slow to grasp the opportunity. The latest figures from the Airline IT Trends Survey indicate that more than 90% of airlines will be using some cloud based services by 2014.
Upbeat, yet cautious. Airline IT Trends Survey
Most airlines forecast budget increases next year. So says the 2011 Airline IT Trends Survey, as passenger traffic and airline revenues climb back to pre-recession levels. But evasive profitability means ‘caution’ remains the watchword.
Intelligent airports - getting there faster
A hot industry topic at this year’s Air Transport IT Summit, the concept of an ‘intelligent airport’ is not new. But changes are underway. The smart use of technology within the airport environment looks set to improve both operations and the passenger experience.
Airline distribution - control your destiny
Changes are not new in the world of airline distribution. But past changes pale in comparison to the challenges posed by the technology trends of the last 12-18 months. The most significant of these trends are mobile devices, applications and social media.
Air Cargo - intelligence-led security
From revenue collection to counter-terrorism and security, the growing demands of government agencies worldwide are placing a vital requirement on the air cargo industry – for the effective, timely and accurate flow of information. Anything less will seriously compromise the ability to perform the necessary risk analysis without impacting global trade flows.
Productivity breakthrough - workforce mobility
Workforce mobility is happening now. It’s already prevalent in the air transport industry. Think aircraft maintenance, boarding control and check-in, and electronic flight bags: 15-25% of airlines have programmes to implement mobile technology in these areas. Another 30-60% will have similar programmes underway by the end of 2012.
