Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company, on Monday announced that Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance, is going all-in on AWS, moving all of its IT infrastructure to AWS to reduce costs and enhance performance.

Star Alliance is working with Tata Consultancy Services -- an AWS Partner Network Premier Consulting Partner -- to migrate all of its data, platforms, and business-critical applications to AWS and close its data centers, which will reduce its infrastructure total cost of ownership by 25 percent, the announcement said.

"The airline alliance is using AWS's unmatched capabilities, including analytics, security, managed databases, storage, and machine learning, to provide its 26 member airlines with real-time insights that will help improve the global travel experience for their passengers, even with the uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic," said the announcement.

"We decided to go all-in on AWS to gain the reliability and scalability we needed to support the increasing number of global travelers joining the alliance each year, but the pandemic also proved how valuable it is to have a flexible and agile infrastructure in the cloud," said Jeremy Drury, head of Digital & Technology at Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance network was established in 1997. Its member airlines include many of the world's top aviation companies as well as smaller regional airlines such as Air China, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and China's Shenzhen Airlines.

Overall, the Star Alliance network currently offers more than 12,000 daily flights to almost 1,300 airports in 197 countries and regions.
