KLM is using state-of-the-art technology to solve one of the industry’s thorniest dilemmas: dealing with operational tradeoffs.
Blockchain could both improve airline performance and usher in a new era of cooperation, collaboration, and alignment within the industry.
Travel companies are rich in data and confront complexity daily—characteristics that play to AI’s strengths. But for AI to succeed, companies must do more than experiment.
Whether they generate it themselves or acquire it from external sources, the amount of data available to companies today is increasing exponentially. And companies that choose not to use that data to create value risk hastening their own obsolescence or, at the very least, losing competitive advantage.
