JetBlue seeks partners for innovation network

JetBlue Airways is looking to team up with other players throughout the travel journey to offer a joint platform for innovation tests. JetBlue would use the network as an extended test platform for the start-up projects that it is backing, to give them wider reach and exposure to the industry. “We are looking partner with airports, airlines, hotels, ground transport providers to form a block of companies, to use as a broad group of partners for proof of concepts,” JetBlue Technology Ventures MD Raj Singh said. He said aviation has failed to keep pace with innovation and push boundaries, compared with technology giants like Google and Facebook. To catch up, airlines are investing in start-ups, because they see that not everything can be achieved internally. <br/>
