Digital transformation drives fleet and passenger growth at JetBlue Airways
JetBlue accelerates its expansion strategy, using Oracle private cloud architecture to underpin its commerce platform and aircraft maintenance systems. Designed and managed by Cintra, the business-critical platform is empowering the airline to achieve its vision by enhancing customer experience, enabling agility across operations and supporting growth.
The challenge:
Despite the continued growth, it’s a tough market that’s sensitive to external factors, including economic conditions, weather and world events. Airlines also face volatile fuel prices, increasing fees, taxation and competition. To be successful, they need to offer high-quality customer experiences and maintain excellent safety, while streamlining operations to be as efficient as possible.
Digital transformation requirement
To realize these plans, JetBlue needed to transform some of its critical IT foundations to ensure they would support its continuing growth. Most notably, the underpinnings of its aircraft maintenance system needed attention, and there was also a need for a robust platform to underpin a new commerce application.
