Airline Industry Retailing

January 18, 2018

Digital transformation is happening  and it is just the beginning. For years, airlines have been enhancing their existing processes supporting the same capabilities. Today, the industry is building new capabilities but keeps on operating within the same kind of business models. How long will it take for the legacy airline business model to be disrupted like Airbnb disrupted the hotel business? It’s easy to think of a dozen major industries that have already been disrupted in a similar way. Why should airlines escape that revolution? It seems clear that the question is not “if” the airline industry will be disrupted, but “when”, and “how”. Airlines need to be prepared for this major change. Most mature carriers are already moving to digita  strategies, this is a no brainer. Some are going further by investing in innovation hubs to accelerate their digital readiness and therefore fulfilling their digital customers’ needs. A few carriers are even taking another bet. Their vision is to become digital companies flying airplanes.

Shipping Aircraft Tire Assemblies by Air

whitePaper | December 15, 2019

Serviceable tire assemblies are considered dangerous since they are typically inflated to high pressure. Essentially, when tire assemblies are shipped by air, the pressure inside the tire increases once the plane reaches altitude. This rise in pressure could cause an over-inflated tire to explode in the cargo hold and compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aircraft tires that are not mounted on the rim are not considered dangerous as they are not under pressure and do not pose a safety hazard.
