Sky Assist - A boost in mobile usage?

The Airline IT Trends Survey of SITA forecasts a boost in mobile usage for the coming years.

By 2017 more than 90% of airlines will have deployed self-service mobile solutions for flight status notification, check-in and boarding passes. As for missing baggage management, 66% of airlines will have mobile solutions by then. If this forecast is confirmed, this means that between today and 2017 the number of airlines offering mobile applications for missing bag will be multiplied by 6.

Today, the self-service options (via kiosk or mobile) for baggage have a limited deployment (under 20%). Nevertheless there are high expectations for these applications: the planned deployment for 2017 is above 60%.

At Sky Assist we already anticipated this boost in mobile usage. Our self-service applications e-AHLreport (to create an AHL) and e-AHLmanage (to check an AHL status and update AHL) can already run on tablets such as iPad. Also we are working on a mobile version of e-AHLreport, but we’ll not say more for the moment and keep the surprise for our user conference in October!
