THE SkyTeam airline alliance yesterday announced a new “Digital Spine” system which allows member airlines to cross-sell ancillary products.
The new functionality bridges the technology differences between carriers, allowing them to exchange seat maps and other information so customers can purchase seat products for their entire journey when flying on an itinerary across multiple airlines.
Future applications of the platform will allow baggage capture and tracking, seamless check-in and real-time seat availability displays.
