Singapore Airlines elevates travel & work with OpenAI technology

OpenAI•USA•

What happened

Singapore Airlines is using OpenAI’s API and models to boost both customer‑facing services and internal tools. The airline upgraded its Kris chatbot from a rule‑based system to a large‑language‑model‑powered one, doubling the customer satisfaction score and cutting average handling time for agents by about 10%. It also added AI‑assisted call‑summarization and a Flight Recommender that lets travelers describe trips in natural language, seeing usage grow nearly threefold. Internally, OpenAI models run in the airline’s Jarvis platform to improve productivity and support software development. All deployments include orchestration, data controls, validation and human review.

Why it matters

For everyday travelers, the changes mean faster, more natural answers to queries and smoother self‑service options, while employees can handle requests more efficiently. The airline’s AI push shows how large carriers are adopting generative AI to improve service quality and operational speed.
