Unifying Data to Power an Iconic Brand
A holistic data strategy is not just a luxury at Emirates—it is a necessary pillar of world-class hospitality and brand excellence.
The iconic airline partnered with Strategy to centralize its data foundation and deliver a single source of truth, helping teams find innovative ways to deliver incredible customer journeys.
Emirates applies data insights across various operations—analyzing booking patterns, delivering dynamic pricing across channels, planning proactive maintenance, and streamlining service schedules across its fleet.
Delivering World-Class Experiences with Data
For Emirates, data is a strategic asset that helps optimize experiences, enhance safety, and elevate in-flight experiences. To harness data for more enterprise impact, Emirates needed to unify vast data volumes across multiple sources.
Emirates consolidated around 10,000 data pipelines into a unified analytics platform, integrating dozens of enterprise data sources to deliver consistent, governed insights built on a central semantic layer. This created a single source of trusted insights for all analytics needs, made data products reusable, and enabled scalability across 12,000+ users globally.
Emirates’ unified data ecosystem now powers descriptive and predictive analytics as well as machine learning models—unlocking tailored insights that drive customer-facing experiences and strategic decisions.
“We compiled customer data and created a predictive model to recommend each passenger’s first meal of choice. At almost 95% accuracy, our solution reduced waste and increased customer satisfaction.”
