Airline Industry Retailing (AIR)
In an increasingly digital world, airline customers' expectations for personalized offers, real-time information and seamless transactions are growing. The Airline Industry Retailing (AIR) portfolio aims to help the airline industry build stronger retailing processes, enabling their customers to "shop-order-pay" for air products across all channels.
AIR portfolio
Airline’s future performance largely depends on how quickly they can transform their distribution and payment legacy processes into a digital retailing environment.
The AIR portfolio is a set of projects and activities building new capabilities that will help the industry participate in this digital transformation. They are closely linked to the common goal of enhancing the Shop-Order-Pay to improve capabilities to support products’ flexibility, consistency across channels, and consent on forms of payment (from customers) and remittance (from agents) and their associated costs.
