Are airline investment priorities meeting the needs of today’s connected world?
As the connected world of travel becomes a reality 91% of airlines plan to invest in cyber security programs over the next three years.
But what other initiatives are airlines investing in? A major area of focus will be the move to the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), where a vast number of physical objects will become connected to the internet, enabling tracking, data collection, analysis and control, which necessitates more security. An overwhelming majority of airlines (68%) are investing in IoT programs in the next three years up from 57% this time last year.
