Retailing Transformation. Where are you?
Accelya launched Air Transformation Lab in 2020 to inject fresh thinking into airline retailing. Since then, the industry has taken giant steps to make airline retailing a reality. 2021 saw NDC go “mainstream,” and airlines become less dependent on legacy. Today’s new Air Transformation Lab asks a fundamental question: when it comes to the path to distribution freedom and retailing excellence, where is your airline on this route? Join us on this exploration into airline retailing from various vantage points to inspire your journey ahead.

Now I am Accelya’s new Chief Executive Officer. I am incredibly humbled and excited to take the helm of this company looking to change up the retailing opportunity for airlines and the wider industry. So, it feels right to open the next chapter of the Air Transformation Lab. I am calling this chapter “Where Are You?”. Because an airline’s journey can have many starting points. The route can take various turns along the way, but the destination is the same. It’s end-to-end retailing transformation.
