Star Alliance, Accenture launch digital services platform

Singapore

STAR Alliance and Accenture have launched a digital services platform to create a more seamless experience for travellers in the 28-airline member network. The platform can gather data provided by an individual member airline or third-party source and make it available to all members, allowing them to build it into their own digital applications.

"The longer-term aim is to allow customers to use any member airline's website or mobile application to obtain all the information they need for travel on several Star Alliance member airlines," the alliance said on Tuesday. Once a service offer is available from the platform, member airlines can decide individually if and when they make it available to customers
