How Emirates used AWS with FlyNava for application creation, deployment and management, with the scalability needed during ticket-price promotions.
Emirates Airlines

The Challenge
In 2017, Emirates Airlines sought to create a pricing platform. They required a solution capable of setting proactive triggers for the price band based on various factors, including fare changes, user-defined custom triggers, volume, value, promotions, and more. They needed worldwide availability and scalability.
Why Amazon Web Services:
Emirates Airlines chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) with Flynava to leverage cloud benefits for application creation, deployment, and management. Scalability was critical, especially during ticket-price promotions when website and application traffic surged. Flynava collaborated in implementing the solution.

The Benefits
Emirates Airlines’s mobile solution empowers passengers to plan journeys, book tickets, and check flight statuses quickly and easily, anytime and anywhere. This improved sales and customer satisfaction. New technologies optimized IT maintenance costs and provided flexibility to offer new functionalities.
The application’s design, creation, and deployment took about six months. The cloud infrastructure and AWS services ensured fast, reliable performance regardless of user quantity or location. AWS also facilitated expansion of e-commerce and mobile services.
