Flag carrier Korean Air has introduced new tech to manage its flight operations and crew management.
It has deployed the iFlight airline operations platform from IBS Software.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, Korean Air selected iFlight to unify operations control, crew planning, crew tracking and training on a single, cloud-native platform.
The airline says this is a key milestone in Korean Air’s digital transformation.
The implementation has been phased, with Operations Control going live first, followed by Crew Tracking and Crew Planning.
Scalability will be further validated through the upcoming integration with Asiana Airlines, as it increases in fleet size, crew and route network.
The iFlight solution enables Korean Air to benefit from data centralisation, better analytics and the leveraging of artificial intelligence.
“This is the first full-scope deployment of iFlight covering a global full-service carrier with pilots, cabin crew and aircraft management. It demonstrates the scalability, reliability and innovation that our customers expect,” said Ryo Funakoshi, SVP and Head of East Asia, IBS Software.
It marks a significant milestone for iFlight’s market expansion.
“By migrating to the iFlight cloud-native platform, we have unified our operations with a level of agility that matches the scale and complexity of our global network,” said Kenny Chang, Chief Marketing Officer, Korean Air.
