Singapore Airlines is widely regarded as one of the world’s flagship airlines – lauded for leadership and awarded more often for its service quality than any other airline in the world. The airline has also set the pace for innovation in the aviation industry for many years. Now, Singapore Airlines has decided to transform its current in-flight shopping model into a modern, powerful and consumer-oriented omnichannel experience.
In the future, the airline will rely on the innovative OM³ platform as well as a strong partnership with aviation and travel retail professionals from DFASS and SATS, with which Singapore Airlines has established a joint venture. The solution is scheduled for rollout in early 2019.
The partnership of Singapore Airlines with the travel retailer DFASS and the onboard fulfillment supplier SATS is an example of a collaboration between three powerhouse companies in aviation that use their respective strengths for the benefit of all joint venture stakeholders:
The joint venture will create innovative opportunities for all parties. Airlines, airports, retailers, brands and – last but not least – passengers will benefit from a state-of-the-art digital solution as well as an optimal customer experience. The joint venture represents an important step in the digitalization of aviation retail.
