Jetlines' new CE envisions 'different kind of airline'

The new CE of Canadian company Jetlines is working to develop a tech-driven airline that takes inspiration from some of the world's leading technology companies Javier Suarez, who became CE in September, is also re-evaluating Jetlines' network plans amid a goal to get airborne next spring, he said. Jetlines, which has yet to operate any flights, has previously set and pushed back timelines for beginning service as an ultra-low-cost carrier. The company also continues seeking more money from investors, Suarez notes. Jetlines will invest significantly in technology to personalise products and services, such as marketing child care to parents after they arrive at their destination, he says. The company aims to use data scientists and machine learning technology to identify optimal prices for add-on services, says Suarez. <br/>
