Airlines

A Tradition of innovation
There can be few businesses in which the performance and resilience of information systems plays such a vital role as the airline industry. Over the last quarter of the 20th Century, the world's airlines have been major innovators in the development of IT systems to improve business performance. However, whilst these systems have been expertly developed, enhanced and upgraded, the limitations of the underlying technical architecture and the growing shortage of people skilled in maintaining first and second generation software are now creating a serious barrier to future development.

Time for a change
As we enter the 21st Century, new applications are needed to meet the increasing performance demands that are being placed on airlines by the globalization of business and the growing empowerment of customers. As well as enabling an almost instantaneous response, today's business applications must deliver the flexibility needed to take full advantage of changing market conditions and manage the dynamic world of flight operations. Advanced facilities that enable the automated sharing of information between systems, collaborative working and decision making, and eBusiness innovations are now essential if airlines are to compete successfully, collaborate with partners effectively, and deliver consistently reliable standards of customer service.

Realising the vision
Based on our in-depth understanding of the challenges faced by the airline industry, gained through long standing partnerships with some of the world's largest airlines, Fujitsu has created a suite of Flight and Ground Operations Solutions.
