India’s Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed a multi-year agreement with Air France-KLM to modernize the airline group’s data architecture by migrating it to the cloud.
This partnership aims to improve operational efficiency and support a sustainable aviation industry by leveraging cloud technology.
Over the next three years, TCS will facilitate Air France-KLM’s transition from data centers to cloud-based systems.
The collaboration builds on a 30-year partnership between the two companies.
TCS will help Air France-KLM migrate critical systems and core business data, including flight operations, passenger information, aircraft maintenance and e-commerce platforms.
The technology provider in the aviation sector can take advantage of data-driven insights to streamline operations and drive innovation.
However, extracting actionable insights from disparate and unstructured systems remains a challenge, especially for large organizations like Air France-KLM, which operates 551 aircraft to 320 destinations in 100 countries.
A team of more than 100 professionals from TCS delivery centers in France, the Netherlands and India will lead this initiative.
Air France-KLM Group EVP and Group CIO Pierre-Olivier Bandet said: “In a rapidly evolving sector, we want to become a champion of air transport in Europe, while fulfilling our role as a leader in sustainable aviation.
“We are happy to open a new and exciting chapter with our long-time partner, TCS, to make the most of our data and new technologies to become even more data-centric and agile to meet our customers’ expectations and to surpass it.”
TCS consumer business group president Krishnan Ramanujam said: “We couldn’t be more proud of our 30-year shared history of innovative performance and the positive impact we have made on the experiences of Air France-KLM passengers, employees and partners.
“We are committed to helping Air France-KLM become the most data-driven airline group in the world and continue to reach new heights in air transport and customer experience, operational excellence and sustainability in the coming decades.”
In October 2024, TCS partnered with NVIDIA to launch a specialized business unit to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across industries.
