Introducing Connected Airsights, the Future of Connected Flights
In the rapidly evolving world of aviation, Airbus is taking a significant step forward by turning its aircraft-as-a-platform vision into a reality. This ambitious vision is driven by the integration of enhanced onboard connectivity and the development of next-generation digital services through its open software platform (OSP). The goal? To create a seamless, personalized experience for passengers while offering airlines innovative tools to optimize their services and make data driven decisions on their operations.
At the heart of these new services, Acubed is leveraging AI to elevate passenger experience personalization, seamlessly connect services, streamline operations and support airlines in optimizing the digital offerings they choose to provide on their flights. By 2037, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that nearly 8.2 billion passengers will take to the skies each year. This staggering number presents a unique challenge—and an unprecedented opportunity—to redefine air travel for the digital age.
A Future of Unparalleled Connectivity
The vision is clear: by 2027, Airbus expects that nearly 30,000 aircraft will be equipped with connectivity, catering to the ever-growing digital demands of passengers. This leap in technology isn't just about staying connected; it's about transforming the travel experience itself.
With Acubed's cutting-edge technology AI-powered personalization engine both behavioral and situational data can be captured, whether in-flight or on the ground, to deliver tailored recommendations and services to passengers. For airlines, this means the ability to optimize digital service offerings, boost ancillary revenues and enhance customer loyalty, leveraging AI-generated insights from a pool of data aggregated over various sources that were historically not available or kept in silos.
Addressing Pain Points and Unlocking New Potential
Currently, up to 30% of airlines' pain points can be alleviated through the AI-driven solutions provided by Acubed. These include the personalization engine, which helps passengers feel more connected and catered to, and an AI assistant designed to help airlines fine-tune their digital services. The result? A more efficient operation, happier passengers and new revenue streams for airlines.
Acubed's contribution to the Connected Aircraft program is to create new opportunities for airlines to build customer loyalty and increase ancillary revenues. The aircraft-as-a-platform concept is a key enabler of this mission, allowing for the integration of AI-driven personalization and monetization opportunities that benefit both passengers and airlines alike.
Technology for Tomorrow’s Passengers
The journey begins with technology. Aircraft as an open platform is set to revolutionize the way we experience air travel, using AI to not only meet but exceed the expectations of tomorrow’s passengers. By providing personalized recommendations and data-driven insights, Acubed's Connected Airsights project is paving the way for a future where every flight is more than just a journey—it’s an experience tailored to the individual.
As we move towards a future where billions of people will take to the skies, Acubed is supporting Airbus as it leads the charge in transforming air travel. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, the future of flight is connected, personalized, and optimized.
