IBM MobileFirst for iOS Apps to be Launched on Singapore Airlines FlightsARMONK, N.Y. and SINGAPORE, May 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group selected MobileFirst for iOS apps to provide a seamless experience across flight operations processes. With apps, Fly Now and Roster for iPad, pilots will be equipped with relevant information and flight-related updates. The use of the apps are expected to enhance pilot productivity by digitizing manual processes related to airline operations and regulations. These mandatory processes are critical aspects of flight readiness from pre-flight right through post-flight operations. From mid-June this year, SIA pilots will have access to these two new iOS apps, as part of a suite of apps installed on company-issued iPads. A cross-geography team from IBM iX, one of the world's largest digital agencies, has been working closely with Singapore Airlines' pilots to design apps that enhance operational pre-flight processes. These include:
"A smooth and safe flight is always a top priority for airlines. Today, we are seeing forward-thinking airlines like Singapore Airlines investing in digital technologies like the MobileFirst for iOS, which integrates analytics with mobile apps, to improve efficiencies and enhance the passenger flying experience," said Dee Waddell, Global Managing Director, IBM Travel & Transportation.
