According to the Securities Times app, Google Cloud (GOOGL.US) announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with Air France-KLM to deploy generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology on the airline group's data. In a statement, Google Cloud stated that the French-Dutch airline group's 551 operating aircraft transported 93 million passengers in 2023, generating a large amount of data from its commercial and cargo flights. Google Cloud's AI solutions will use this data to analyze passenger preferences, travel patterns, predict aircraft maintenance needs, and more.

Google Cloud stated that Air France-KLM will retain full ownership and control of its data, saying: "The group will have a deeper understanding of passenger preferences, travel patterns, and behavior to provide tailored new travel choices and services, and enhance flight, airport, and business operations. The time needed for data analysis to predict aircraft maintenance has been reduced from hours to minutes."

Matt Renner, Global President of Google Cloud Revenue, stated: "Airlines generate a large amount of data, most of which has incredible value in driving operational insights and creating better customer experiences."
