Digital Skies: How Technology is Reshaping Latin America's Aviation Landscape

Latin America's aviation sector is increasingly turning to cutting edge technologies to transform their operations, improve safety, solve workforce challenges and enhance efficiency and profitability. Regional airlines are already adopting AI-based systems for everything from aircraft maintenance to passenger service, pricing and revenue management. Digital transformation is no longer just a luxury of the region's largest players, it is increasingly becoming a necessity regardless of the size or role of the organisation. This session will focus on regional trends when it comes to the rapid development and adoption of digital technologies, looking at questions such as:

• What regional aviation businesses are leading the technology transformation?

• How are AI technologies actually changing operations?

• Are younger, more aggressive regional LCCs better placed than their larger but better financed competitors to drive technology adoption?

• While digital transformation promises much, it also comes with significant costs. Should the investment priorities be around cost reduction, problem solving, revenue generation or something else entirely?

• What are the unique challenges in the region that have the potential to slow technology adoption?
