As airlines prepare to take off in a post-pandemic world, carriers need to figure out how to rebuild in a rapidly evolving global environment where historical data no longer applies. As the travel ecosystem charts a new chapter, airlines have begun to prioritize digital transformation, sustainability, customer well-being, and innovation as pillars towards a recovery.
Korean Air will be leading the change and will be using Amadeus Digital Experience Suite (DES), a key component of the Amadeus Airline Platform in the redesign of its website and mobile platform.
The expanded partnership with Amadeus supports the acceleration of digital transformation for Korean Air, along with the renewal of Altea Passenger Service System agreement. Korean Air will be one of the largest airlines globally to implement the Amadeus Digital Experience Suite later this year.
“In these unprecedented times, it is encouraging to be able to collaborate with partners like Amadeus. Korean Air is focused on accelerating our goal of digital transformation, with the full commitment of our leadership team. By leveraging our partnership with Amadeus, we can streamline our operations and reach that goal faster. This will take Korean Air to a next level of international growth, enhancing forward thinking to deliver the ultimate customer experience,” says Kenneth Chang, Executive Vice President and MO, Korean Air.

Amadeus’ Airline Platform is simple, open and agile, and will support Korean Air in innovating, collaborating and experimenting to create new products which will add value and create personalized retail experiences for its passengers.”
