Challenge	Royal Jordanian Airlines, the flag carrier of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, was struggling to manage the increasing volumes of big data in its Oracle system. The airline needed a better understanding of the business, which required detailed data on many aspects of operations, including fuel consumption, cabin and cockpit functions, mail and courier traffic, and catering costs.

About Customer	Royal Jordanian Airlines is the flag carrier of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, operating scheduled and non-scheduled domestic and international services over four continents. Based at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Royal Jordanian belongs to the Arab Air Carriers Organization and the global airline alliance Oneworld. The airline is a past winner of the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation award for Airline Turnaround of the Year and the Airline of the Year from the industry publication Airfinance Journal. It operates more than 500 flights a week, employs 4,545 people, and earned US$1.036 billion in revenue in 2011. Read More

Then, in March 2011, Jordan QlikTech Partner Synapse Technologies introduced QlikView business discovery to Royal Jordanian. It organized several Seeing is Believing - proof of concept - demonstrations of QlikView with the IT department at Royal Jordanian. The demonstrations were an instant success. For a proof of concept, Royal Jordanian chose a business-critical analytical requirement for any airline—route profitability reporting. Synapse Technologies delivered the results Royal Jordanian wanted with the proof of concept. Read More Log in to view content
