Manila, Philippines, August 2024: Philippine Airlines (PAL) is set to revolutionize its tech stack with a broad set of solutions and services from Amadeus to enhance the travel experience of passengers on its international and domestic flights.

The Philippines’ sole full-service network will benefit from the full integration of customer loyalty knowledge and data with the Altéa Passenger Service System (PSS) to deliver real time personalization throughout the customer journey. Philippine Airlines first embarked on a digital transformation journey with the adoption of Amadeus’ Altéa PSS in 2018 and more recently Amadeus’ customer profiling and personalization solution, Traveler DNA.

Philippine Airlines has selected Amadeus to provide a team of travel industry experts with unique knowledge of airline website optimization to completely evolve the carrier’s digital channels.

Working hand-in-hand with PAL to create a truly end-to-end customer experience, from acquisition to post travel, Amadeus has been contracted to redesign the airline’s website and operate it from a new cloud-based infrastructure. Amadeus will provide managed services to maintain, monitor, and fully manage the cloud hosting environment of the Philippine Airlines website.

Co-innovation through an established digital lab and competency center organized between the two companies will continue, with a focus on further customizing and enhancing the carrier’s website.

Philippine Airlines will implement the Amadeus Loyalty Management solution to enhance the proposition of Mabuhay Miles powering its transformation into a digital, lifestyle loyalty program. This will provide more flexibility to better serve loyalty members, increasing their engagement.

The modern loyalty technology will empower Philippine Airlines with a full range of capabilities including currency retailing, a modern UI experience, a loyalty member portal, targeted promotions, real-time identification and allocation of benefits, as well as advanced acquisition, member recognition and segmentation. The carrier will also be able to expand its loyalty partner network, offering them an intuitive, self-service partner management portal.

The digital services and loyalty solutions feature full integration with the Altéa PSS suite, as well as technology from Amadeus’ partner network, driving unparallelled value for Philippine Airlines in delivering personalized servicing to its customers.
