dedicated Global Capability Center (GCC), we are not only enhancing our
one-stop-shop offerings but also accelerating the pace of digital innovation
across the aviation industry. This collaboration empowers us to deliver
cutting-edge solutions with greater agility and scale, ultimately benefiting
our airline customers with more efficient, innovative, and cost-effective
technologies."
