Google Cloud has announced a strategic collaboration with Air France-KLM, to help the airline leverage the power of its data, analytics and Gen AI technology to accelerate its data-centric and multicloud strategy.
Through the enhancement and growing value of its data, and its AI and Gen AI strategy, Air France-KLM intends to boost the travel experience and satisfaction of its customers with more personalised offerings; optimise its operations on the ground and in the air; simplify the internal use of data and Gen AI technology; and foster overall business and employee innovation.
Air France-KLM has engaged in a major transformation of its three legacy data centres toward a multi-cloud strategy. Moving applications to the cloud and accelerating data value and insights, Air France-KLM will leverage Google Cloud’s data and analytics tools, including BigQuery. With Google Cloud’s commitment to security and privacy, Air France-KLM will maintain full ownership and control of its data, while improving time-to-market, innovation, and less data processing latency to better serve its business units in their digital journeys.
“Our collaboration with Google Cloud is a significant step forward in our data strategy,” said Air France-KLM Group EVP and Group CIO, Pierre-Olivier Bandet. “By leveraging Google Cloud’s advanced data technology with a real partnership approach, we intend to accelerate our innovation capacities with security in mind, and with Gen AI, build the future of travel.”
