Program

Connectivity is making real-time aircraft monitoring a reality: Aircraft operators, OEMs and aircraft component and systems manufacturers will access TB of data on any flight activity. How will Big Data change airline operations? Who will manage, own, monetize and benefit from the collected data?

Airlines will present their strategies and discuss their goals and the challenges they face with regards to in-flight connectivity. How can airlines make the most of the connected aircraft? From the planning phase to the implementation and management of the user experience, executives will share views in their current experience and expectations for the next five years.

Airlines will derive significant operational benefits through connectivity thanks to electronic flight bags (EFB), aircraft health management and other options, at the cost of having to revise existing processes. How can airlines leverage big data to improve efficiency and safety? Which ecosystem of partners is required to enable the implementation of new solutions?

Bandwidth available to aircraft will dramatically expand in the coming years. However, much of the technology used remains incompatible with other systems. How will IFC services evolve to provide more added value to airlines? And which business models will become dominant in the industry?
