This pandemic has forced the airline industry to examine the holistic experience for employees and customers alike, but one thing seems to be missing: the lack of integration among solutions. In order to successfully recover from these challenging times, we must address the changes that must be implemented within the aviation and travel industry’s technological, security, and customer experience (CX) solutions.
