Transforming enterprise data & AI at a Tier 1 international airline.
We placed 20+ senior data, AI/LLM, product and engineering specialists at a Tier 1 international airline — accelerating Databricks optimisation, ETL modernisation and AI/ML use cases that helped underpin one of the carrier's strongest financial years on record.
When the client embarked on a strategic initiative to unify enterprise data, modernise analytics platforms and accelerate AI/ML-driven business outcomes, they faced the complex challenges common to global carriers: fragmented data silos, manual ETL pipelines, inconsistent governance and limited self-service analytics. To drive competitive differentiation across pricing, loyalty, operations and customer experience, they needed deep, best-in-class talent — quickly.
- Consolidate enterprise data into a single source of truth
- Build robust ETL pipelines for real-time and batch workflows
