This poses problems. Already today there are sometimes bottlenecks, in the air as well as on the ground. This can lead to delays or even flight cancellations, resulting in frustrated passengers and high costs for the airlines. To meet these challenges, the industry is looking for solutions based on artificial intelligence. As one of the world’s leading airline IT specialists, Lufthansa Systems is involved in various projects in this field.
The trick is to use this data in a smart and practical way. Lufthansa Systems founded a subsidiary in 2015 to handle this. The offshoot zeroG employs around 50 data scientists and data engineers: experts in the field of intelligent data use and the development of AI solutions, they also have a deep understanding of airline processes. In all of its AI projects, Lufthansa Systems and zeroG involve their customers in the development process early on in order to adapt the solutions to specific conditions and work with the widest possible range of real data.
Deep Turnaround is all about avoiding delays in ground operations, specifically the turnaround process. Using video recording, an algorithm analyses the turnaround process and keeps everyone updated on the current status in real time. If necessary, the parties involved can take measures to speed up the process or counteract any bottlenecks to ensure a punctual turnaround. All in all, AI has huge potential for the aviation sector.
