Bridging the Personalization Gap - Adnan SauafSITA
There is a lot of talk about personalizing the message and offers to your customers but sadly the research shows that companies are not even identifying the customer correctly instead using multiple marketing tools to bombard the customer with competing offers across channels.
The document discusses how digital technologies are transforming aviation, travel, and tourism. Key points include:
- Modern technologies are dramatically altering how people live, interact, and do business. Plummeting costs of technologies like drones, robots, solar panels, 3D printing, and smartphones are fueling demand.
- The combinatorial effects of interconnected technologies are accelerating the speed of technology adoption and will have an exponential impact. Industries must create future-oriented visions to take advantage of opportunities.
- Aviation, travel, and tourism have been at the forefront of digital disruption but face another wave. Digital themes include intelligent automation, digital platforms and borders, and making travel safer through data sharing and biometric standards
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
It is not a technology revolution
It is a business revolution enabled by technology
IoT is enabling a new wave in digital business transformation
The problem
Flight disruption, financial cost, passenger awareness, loyalty to airlines
The solution

Jack Loop Introducing high fidelity location services - Jack LoopSITA
LocusMaps gives airports, and the airlines and services providers that operate there, a digital platform to communicate, share and manage everything about their physical space.
Blockchain has potential applications in the air transport industry for storing records like biometrics, drone ownership and flight information. Blockchain provides a secure, distributed ledger that allows different entities like airlines, airports, and manufacturers to share information in a way that establishes a single version of the truth. SITA has done projects exploring uses of blockchain for areas like baggage tracking, flight status, and re-engineering business processes. Blockchain could disrupt how industries engage in business-to-business interactions by enabling new models of digital identity, payments, and data sharing across organizations. Further development is still needed but blockchain may fundamentally change engagement models in the coming years.
This document discusses how data analytics can improve airline operations through awareness, anticipation, and action. It highlights how analytics can provide real-time awareness of flight delays, connections, and disruptions to help predict delays up to 72 hours in advance. This predictive technology utilizes historical and live flight data, along with contextual data, to provide dashboards and predictions that help airlines and airports better manage disruptions and improve customer satisfaction and cost control.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

In order to generate the statistics found in the report SITA uses a number of sources which include:International Air Transport Association (IATA)Airports Council International (ACI)Association of European Airlines (AEA)Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA)US Department of Transport, Bureau of Transport Statistics (BTS).SITA’s WorldTracer service (which is used by around 450 airlines and ground handlers)We also use data from other SITA Baggage Systems (such as our reconciliation systems and messaging systems) – which used at over 200 airports worldwide, to validate the statistics provided in this reportAnd as a recurring theme, this report provides insight into the improvements being made in the baggage handling process by the industry.So to summarise: The report provides :Key statistics The report provides : Year-on-year trend analysis The report provides : Regional baggage performance : from an airline perspective, and for the first time from an airport perspective The report provides: insight into some of the latest industry innovationsFinally the report provides: Commentary from major airlines, airports and industry partners - including Iberia, Helsinki Airport, BritishAirways/CityFlyer, London Heathrow Airport, Bangalore International Airport, ACI and IATA. So, over the next 10 minutes I will share with you some of the key findings from the report … <START SLIDE TRANSITION>BUT before I do that, I just need to remind you about the definition of a “mishandled bag”, which will be referred to many times in this presentation:A mishandled bag is a “delayed, damaged or pilfered bag which is recorded by either an airline or its handling company on behalf of the passenger and that is handled as a claim”.
So let’s take a look at some of the headline numbers, and let’s start with some short terms trends, comparing 2011 and 2012.Well firstly, the number of enplaned passengers reached 2.95 billion in 2012, which was up 4.5% compared with 2011Secondly there was a smaller increase of 2.84% in the total number of mishandled bags, up to 26.04 million from 25.8 million in 2011.So despite this small increase in the overall number of mishandled bags, the good news is that airlines, airports and ground handlers, by working together actually managed to achieve a lower mishandling rate of 8.83 bags per 1000 passengers in 2012, which was down 1.78% compared to 2011.
On this next slide we will take a different view; and we’ll take a look at the long term performance trends over the last 6 years, running from 2007 to 2012.And most importantly the report shows that there has been significant improvement in baggage performance over the last 6 years:Firstly, the total number of passengers travelling has increased by around 19% from 2.5 billion in 2007 to almost 3 billion passengers in 2012.Secondly, there has been a 44.5% reduction in the total number of bags mishandled, down from 46.9 million bags in 2007, to just over 26.4 million last year.Overall, this means that the baggage mishandling rate has more than halved from 18.88 to 8.83 mishandled bags per 1000 passengers between 2007 and 2012.So finally, if we then compare the annual cost of mishandled bags in 2012, versus 2007; then we estimate that the air transport industry has reduced the annual costs associated with the processing of mishandled bags by 2.1 billion US dollars….. which must be good news for everybody.
Using data extracted from SITA’s WorldTracer, we are able to drill down into the reasons for delayed luggage, and here we see that:Firstly, “failure to load” has increased slightly from 15% to 17% between 2011 and 2012, And secondly: “loading errors” have increased slightly from 5% to 7%.However these increases are somewhat counterbalanced by a small decrease in the mishandling rate of transfer bags…..so that in 2012 we saw that transfer bags accounted for 48% of all delayed bags, which was down from 53% in 2011.As we know, the handling of transfer bags remains a major pinch point in the baggage handling process. Not only do the increasing passenger and baggage volumes place greater stress on baggage operations, but delays and unexpected changes to schedules can quickly have a negative impact on transfer bags. And so in real terms it is important to understand that while 12.5 million transfer bags were mishandled in 2012, this is actually a reduction of 1.17 million on the number of transfer bags mishandled in 2011, which was 13.67 million bags.So, perhaps this is a positive signal that the issue of transfer bags is beginning to be addressed.
On this slide, we look at regional trends for the mishandling rates reported by airlines across the 3 regions ofAsia PacificNorth Americaand EuropeUnfortunately, at this time we are unable to provide comparative analysis for the Middle-East and Africa region, but hopefully this will change in time for the next report in 2014. Investment in baggage technology and improved processes has been the key to the improvements seen in North America and Asia Pacific.While Europe has also made excellent advances in baggage performance over the past five years.Looking at the long term trend of baggage performance, the improvement is significant across all 3 regions with themishandling bag rate reduced by: 43% in Asia, by 56% in North Americaand by 43% in Europe between 2007 and 2012The only negative trend between 2011 and 2012, is in Asia-Pacific – where the mishandling rate grew by 3%. Please note that the increase in the mishandling rate in Europe in 2010, was a result of the Icelandic volcano, and bad winter weather across Europe.<SLIDE TRANSITION>But now let’s take a look at what the passengers want …
