By GlobalDataBy using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and AWS’ machine learning technology, United passengers can get their travel papers reviewed in real-time before reaching the airport.
AWS’ technology will also help in improving the airport operations and support airport workers to expand operations.
The airline runs a company-wide analytics and machine learning programme, which depends on AWS to bring efficiencies, deal with potential delays, and optimise new services.
In addition, it installed Amazon SageMaker to forecast irregularity in operations and gain insights for improving customer service, baggage routing, and flight scheduling.
United Airlines technology executive vice-president and chief digital officer Linda Jojo said: “AWS’ superior portfolio of products and services and its focus on continuous innovation for its customers is a complement to United’s approach to technology.
“United has an established track record of developing new ways to use technology to improve the customer experience. Naming AWS as our preferred Cloud provider helps us to even further accelerate how we innovate and deliver even more personalised and scalable services for our customers and employees.”
In April, it was announced that San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and United Airlines will test SITA’s Smart Path biometric solution.
