Lufthansa is partnering with Google Cloud to streamline operations and limit passenger delays.
With the use of cloud technology, the airline will monitor all irregularities and limit flight schedule disruptions.
The aim is to build a platform that will suggest scenarios to return to a stable flight plan in the event of an irregularity, so that passengers still arrive at their destinations as punctually as possible.
In cases where bad weather delays a flight, passengers usually miss connecting flights. Lufthansa passengers will then be offered faster rebooking options across all their hubs with AI enhanced systems.
A joint team of operations experts, developers and engineers from Lufthansa and software engineers from Google Cloud will be developing and testing the appropriate platform.
The test launch will take place in Zurich with SWISS.
