Chief Operations Officer of airBaltic Pauls Cālītis: “To review safety reports at scale and to highlight new safety insights, a powerful and scalable IT infrastructure is required that is also secure. From analyzing safety reports to simulating ‘what-if' scenarios, AI is our new intelligent companion from Beams, ensuring that airBaltic remains at the forefront of aviation safety.”
“We are honoured to be selected by airBaltic to bring our platforms and expertise to their safety teams, particularly as they pursue their ambition to constantly improve their safety reporting processes,” said Alan Sternberg, CEO of Beams. “AI plays a key role in reading and analyzing the vast amount of human-written safety reports.
