Airlines are on the path to recovery, and digital transformation is an important landmark on that path. In order for airlines to build successful digital products, they need the right set of skills. In this episode, PROS' Stanislava Yordanova and Diggintravel's Iztok Franko discuss the upcoming launch of the Digital Retailing Academy, a collaboration between PROS and Diggintravel. Find out how you can be part of it!

As the world and the travel industry begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are so many questions to be answered. People are looking forward to when they can safely travel again, and airlines are looking forward to seeing increased demand. In this episode, we’re going to discuss how airlines can focus on recovery for the time being, and to help us, we’ve invited Alberto Carlos Hinke, Senior Director of Strategic Consulting for PROS Travel Solutions.

As the airline industry looks forward to recovery, how do partnerships and alliances factor in? Brian Wishlinski, director of Partners and Alliances at PROS gives us the details about the travel ecosystem and how collaborations with third parties will make the industry more sustainable in the future.

In this first episode of Season 3 of The View from 30,000ft, we explore the ins and outs of air cargo. What does the future hold for the industry as we aim for recovery from the pandemic, and will cargo become a sustainable, alternative revenue source for airlines?

Four years ago, IATA’s report “The Future of Airline Distribution” painted a picture of where airline distribution was headed: …by 2021, airline distribution will evolve from its current passive, rigid, and technology-centric state to a more flexible, dynamic, and passenger-centric environment which we call Active Distribution… We will need systems that will support calculating volumes of prices that may be several magnitudes larger than today. These prices will be dynamic, they won’t be based on ATPCO-filed fares.” Back then it was still the early days of NDC adoption. In this podcast episode, we chat with Sebastien Touraine from IATA about where we are today as an industry in terms of dynamic prices/offers and systems to support them.

The Coronavirus is disrupting the global economy, and in particular the airline industry. PROS legacy is to be a resource for our customers, and we are doing everything possible to support them during this difficult time. There are so many questions: Where can airlines focus? What can they learn? How can they generate demand? How can they recover?

We explore these topics and more with PROS experts during this special edition of PROS Travel Podcast, The View from 30,000ft.

A key puzzle piece in the digital transformation process is the customer experience. Airlines and IT providers alike are exploring new and innovative ways to drive customer experience and in turn revenue. To explore that topic, we have lined up Tomi Maaniemi, Principal at PROS, but also former eCommerce leader at Finnair. He joins us to discuss the nuts and bolts of airline digital retailing and how airlines can take steps to accelerate and scale innovation across their organization. We touch upon topics like improving conversion and the digital experience, building the business case for innovation projects and measuring digital success through various KPIs. Take a listen and reach out to Tomi after, if you want to continue the conversation.
