What’s driving change in aviation?

Aviation industry leaders recognise that digital transformation is driving innovation and positive disruption in most industries. In aviation, companies are drastically changing operations in pursuit of better insights around customer preferences and increased operational performance.

Some key drivers for change are:

Dynamic check-in Mobile devices and apps that enable better communication and engagement with customers provide a better overall customer experience. They also reduce the amount of hardware needed, as they drive more customers to use mobile check-in services, reducing maintenance costs and freeing up staff to focus on other tasks.

Predictions and forecasting Apps to predict baggage and flight weights enable better forecasting of fuel usage and reduce costs. By using iOS devices, you’ll improve your employees’ productivity, and give staff instant access to the information they need, so a decision can be made in realtime.

Employee satisfaction Implementing Apple technology and digitalising processes streamlines employees’ workflows and increases staff retention by providing them with desirable technology. The most recent versions of essential flight documents can be pushed out instantly to employees’ iPads, ensuring that everyone always has access to the most up to date and compliant information.

Why airlines are choosing Apple for digital transformation

The iOS App Store has many powerful, best-of-breed industry apps that have been built for the platform by expert verified developers. These can allow you to replace paper forms and processes, perform administrative tasks, communicate with employees, and manage employees’ workload and calendars. And with our mobile device management service, every device can be set up and configured automatically, keeping devices compliant and up to date, and making deploying new devices simple.

By providing employees with the best technology to do their jobs, you also increase employee satisfaction, through improved communication, increased operational efficiency and a better work/life balance. “Businesses who are serious about attracting quality candidates and retaining existing talent will know that technology plays a critical role,” says Tim Bodill, Enterprise Business Director at Jigsaw24. “Ultimately, when employees are able to choose products they love and know, they’re more engaged, efficient and will stay in a job longer.”

Intense competition in the commercial aviation sector has led industry stakeholders to create new business models. By recognising the growth of digitalisation and responding to new technology with Apple, they get best of breed hardware and software, access to the great aviation apps available in the iOS store and improve employee satisfaction.
