Saudia, Saudi Arabia's national flag carrier, has launched a groundbreaking digital platform called the Travel Companion (TC). This platform, powered by advanced artificial intelligence, is part of Saudia's two-year plan to transform the airline travel industry. The goal is to redefine how travelers interact with airlines and establish new standards in digital travel.

The Travel Companion aims to provide personalized solutions for each traveler, allowing them to find and book various services through a single platform. It offers access to concierge services, including hotels, transportation, restaurants, activities, and attractions. This innovation eliminates the need to use multiple platforms, streamlining the travel planning process.

In the upcoming stages, Saudia plans to add voice command and digital payment solutions to the Travel Companion. The platform will be accessible via a telecom e-SIM card enabled by Saudia, allowing users to access the platform's services without relying on other internet providers. The platform also aims to offer seamless connections with transportation platforms and various train companies for a smoother journey.

The goal is to make the Travel Companion the top app for travelers, providing comprehensive travel information. Saudia's Director General, His Excellency Engr. Ibrahim Al-Omar, described the platform as a "game-changer" in the airline industry, designed to offer unparalleled convenience and flexibility to travelers.

Overall, Saudia's Travel Companion is set to revolutionize the airline industry by integrating a variety of services into a single digital platform, enhancing the travel experience for its users.
