Poland’s flag carrier LOT Polish Airlines (LOT) is partnering with FLYR Labs to support the airline’s commercial optimization efforts by accessing and leveraging the value of its data, helping to overcome many of today’s industry constraints.

LOT and FLYR will deploy FLYR’s AI-based platform for LOT’s commercial technology operations and together, the companies will identify key benefits of the solution across LOT’s commercial operations, either through existing platform capabilities or by co-creating new features and applications. The companies say they aim to enable departmental collaboration, linking together and addressing optimization opportunities across ancillary revenue management, digital marketing, offer management, and e-commerce, powered by FLYR’s vertically integrated platform.

With its acquisitions of Pribas to enable advanced distribution and fulfillment, and direct distribution and retailing solution Newshore in quick succession, FLYR is providing airlines with a modernized end-to-end technology stack that enables dynamic and autonomous pricing, combined with personalized and frictionless shopping experiences.

This partnership follows several of FLYR’s recent announcements towards working with other best-in-class airlines embracing a modernized end-to-end technology stack that meets the needs of an ever-changing business environment. In addition, FLYR’s expanded office presence in Krakow and Amsterdam provides on-the-ground support for LOT as it does for other EMEA customers, expediting progress towards innovation.

LOT is also one of the largest operators in Europe, flying more than 9 million passengers a year across 120+ destinations within Europe, Asia, and North America.

FLYR’s cloud-native decision intelligence platform, The Revenue Operating System, leverages deep learning technology to provide automated, AI-based revenue management capabilities that maximize business-wide profitability and operational efficiencies.
