For example, when promoting special offers to new destinations, Aeroflot’s business teams will be able to target travelers with the most relevant profiles and highest levels of potential interest.
“The deployment of analytics technologies will be of great benefit to our customers while searching for and selecting the best offers. Personalization and targeted marketing tools will allow us to proactively attract new customers while successfully developing relationships with our existing base", said Mikhail Fandeyev, Marketing Director, Aeroflot.

As a long-term partner to Aeroflot and a world leader in analytics, we are providing some of the most advanced technologies available to help turn data into valuable insight and support Aeroflot’s continued transformation and growth.”
IBM’s analytics technologies including BigInsights and SPSS were selected by Aeroflot as a result of a thorough market analysis through which IBM’s business partner Technoserv Consulting was chosen as the system integrator for the deal
"Big data has great potential for solving large-scale problems, but not all large enterprises are able to turn this data into business value. Aeroflot was the first among Russian airlines to clearly understand the value of data within its organization and to deliver on its potential with this innovative project. We are delighted to expand our cooperation with Russia’s largest carrier, and bring to bear our deep industry expertise and IBM’s world-leading analytics technologies," said Dmitry Bulenko, Director of Business Development, Transportation Sector, Technoserv Consulting.
