Keynote Presentation: No One Said This Would Be Easy: The inside story of how FLYR and IBM came together to build an Offer & Order-native airline for Riyadh Air in under two years

Building an airline is a rare challenge. Building one on cutting-edge technology, in under two years, while still needing to connect to a world of legacy systems, is something else entirely. FLYR, and IBM share how they tackled integrating with legacy systems, balancing innovation with consumer familiarity, and designing for scale from day one. You’ll hear the inside story: the technical challenges, how teams came together, and why this journey matters for every airline leader thinking about the next decade.
