Travel Technology Trends 2020

Innovation in the airline industry keeps on evolving at the light speed since the first commercial airline flights took to the skies in the 1920s. With that, airline information behemoth OAG as of late figure which top travel technology trends it believes will make headwinds in 2020.

One key headway will be voice technology, which OAG anticipated will drastically change how travelers book their flights one year from now.

Brilliant speaker use is developing quickly, with more than 1/3 of U.S. family units as of now owning at any rate one keen speaker. The $12 billion market is required to develop to $27 billion by 2022.

A couple of years back, an OAG overview of 2,000 travelers discovered 25 percent would be comfortable using mobile assistants like Siri and Okay Google to book travel, while 18 percent would use voice automated systems like Google Home and Amazon Echo. OAG said those numbers would likely be even higher today.

Travel organizations, including airlines, will begin to all the more fully embrace so-called “prescriptive analytics” to balances the traveler’s needs with those of the business, matching demand (the customer’s desire) with supply (the travel product).

Some airlines are already jumping on the trend, offering travelers voice-enabled check-in, flight information and status. British low-fare carrier Easy Jet plans to soon start using voice recognition technology on its app that will allow customers to book flights in just seconds by speaking into their devices.

Another innovation pattern one year from now will utilize huge information to alter clients’ experience, OAG said.

Companies also want a “super app” to streamline travel apps so that mobile device users don’t have to use separate apps for each airline, or for services such as looking up train schedules or booking hotels.
