How the plane will become smart(er)

Connectivity is impacting current and future airline operations. How will new trends, such as Big Data, IoT, analytics and predictive maintenance, disrupt the aviation industry? What are the associated challenges (cyber-security, data ownership, volume, variety, veracity etc.)?

New antenna technologies will enable higher throughput rates that many stakeholders of the IFC value chain, such as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Maintenance and Repair Overhaul (MROs), are willing to exploit, taking their maintenance capabilities to the next level.
