February may have been the shortest month of the year, but that didn’t mean fewer innovations were launched in the airline industry—quite the opposite. Airline innovation is back at full steam, and if one trend has dominated recent developments, it’s the unstoppable momentum of AI.
From personalized digital assistants to automation breakthroughs, AI continues to drive transformation across customer interactions, airline operations, and the traveler experience.
This month’s OAG Airline-Tech Innovation Radar highlights three of the most exciting real-world innovation launches—showcasing how airlines, airports, and technology providers are putting AI and digital solutions to work in ways that have immediate, tangible impact.
Let’s dive in, starting with Innovation #1, which explores how Generative AI is reshaping airline customer interactions.
Over the past few years, airline customer service has been under immense pressure—with long hotline wait times, limited self-service options, and chaotic airport service counters during flight disruptions fueling rising passenger frustration. While airlines cautiously experimented with AI-powered service tools throughout 2023, the past few months have marked a turning point.
Generative AI is no longer an experiment—it’s becoming a core part of airline customer interactions.
In just the past four weeks, several airlines have launched AI-powered chatbots and digital assistants to streamline customer service. Leading the charge is Qatar Airways, expanding the capabilities of its AI-powered virtual assistant, Sama, with emotionally aware AI and in-flight personalization.
Qatar Airways introduced Sama last year as a holographic virtual assistant on its metaverse platform QVerse, mobile app, and website. Now, the airline has enhanced Sama with advanced AI capabilities, setting new standards for hyper-personalized travel experiences.
Qatar Airways is pushing the boundaries of AI-powered airline experiences, combining Generative AI, emotional recognition, and holographic interfaces to redefine airline-customer interactions.
While Qatar Airways is at the forefront, other airlines have also been doubling down on AI-driven service tools in the past month. Here are three examples:
What all these examples show: 2025 is shaping up to be the year AI goes from hype to real-world impact in Airline Tech.
While airlines are increasingly adopting AI-powered assistants within their own ecosystems, a major AI development outside the immediate airline sector could have big implications for how flights and travel services are booked in the near future.
The big news? Amazon has unveiled Alexa+, a next-generation AI assistant powered by Generative AI, marking a major evolution from the pre-programmed Alexa voice assistant model of the past.
This move positions Amazon alongside Google, OpenAI, and Meta in the race to build AI-driven personal assistants at scale, with Alexa+ promising to be significantly more conversational, smarter, and highly personalized compared to its predecessor.
The potential impact on travel booking could be significant. Alexa+ is not just a voice assistant—it is designed to work behind the scenes to coordinate multiple services at once, which is particularly relevant for trip planning.
Unlike other AI players, Amazon is rolling the service out at no additional cost for Prime members–an aggressive distribution move that could quickly scale adoption.
While airlines are actively integrating AI-powered assistants into their own apps and websites, Amazon’s Alexa+ could become a powerful third-party interface for travel bookings.
With its deep ecosystem and customer-first integrations, Amazon has a strong track record of making digital consumer tools feel more intuitive and frictionless than traditional airline and travel booking interfaces.
Whether Alexa+ truly reshapes travel booking remains to be seen, but it signals a growing shift toward AI-driven, voice-first trip planning that airlines and travel brands will need to watch closely.
While AI has dominated recent Airline-Tech discussions, our final innovation of the month operates outside the AI space—but its impact on travelers should not be underestimated.
The innovation? Skyscanner has launched DROPS, an app-exclusive feature that alerts users when flight prices drop by more than 20% compared to their lowest price in the past seven days.
The lack of price transparency in flight bookings is a long-standing frustration among many travelers. Airlines and travel platforms use dynamic pricing models that often leave customers uncertain about whether they’re truly getting the best deal.
Skyscanner’s DROPS joins a growing wave of intuitive booking features aimed at solving this problem, much like:
All these features reflect a clear industry trend—travel platforms are competing to offer smarter, more automated solutions to help travelers get more control and visibility over pricing.
While AI-powered booking assistants (like Amazon’s Alexa+ and OpenAI’s Operator) may reshape trip planning in the long term, intelligent, data-driven pricing tools like DROPS address an immediate and practical need for travelers today.
We hope this month’s edition served as a great reminder that innovation in Airline-Tech happens on multiple levels.
From straightforward yet impactful deal-flagging tools to more disruptive AI-powered travel assistants that could reshape the airline distribution landscape, innovation comes in many forms—some refining existing processes, others redefining entire business models.
As the pace of transformation accelerates, staying informed is more important than ever.
That’s exactly what we’re here for. Each month, we track and analyze the most meaningful developments in Airline-Tech—so you don’t have to. We hope to see you again next month.
