Vueling, an airline which forms part of IAG (International Airlines Group), has signed a landmark deal with Cirium, the aviation analytics company, to improve airline operational efficiencies through the Cirium Sky managed data warehouse and analytics solution.
The multi-year deal provides Vueling, with access to Cirium’s new data aviation warehouse and analytics capability.
This partnership will allow the airline to gain insights from over 25 operational factors. The analytics company promises that Cirium Sky will enable more effective flight planning, especially around disruption, to minimise delays for its customers.
Jeremy Bowen, Cirium CEO, said: “Our aviation data warehouse, Cirium Sky, is critical in supporting Vueling’s digital transformation initiatives and will enable the airline to improve flight operations, reduce travel delays and set the stage for operational excellence.”
Oliver Iffert, Vueling Chief Operations Officer, said: “Coming out of the pandemic, Vueling is emerging even more efficient and competitive as we prioritize actionable insights backed by a wealth of data and context.”
“Data is key to assessing our operations and identifying ways to provide a passenger experience that stands out.”
“Using Cirium Sky, Vueling can plan flights more effectively and analyze flight delays based on accurate data. We will, as a result, drive a reduction in delays and minimize disruptions.”
The move to Cirium Sky transitions Vueling from using multiple data providers and data held in siloed systems to a single source of aviation data and analytics.
Added Bowen: “Improving operations is not only key for the traveller experience but also for tackling the liquidity issues and capacity recovery that airlines are facing in the wake of COVID-19.“
“By democratizing data and enabling smarter and faster decision making, airlines would see huge savings. We are delighted to partner with Vueling and drive value for their business.”
