The transparent, immutable nature of blockchain can help aircraft manufacturers and operators authenticate, track, and trace inputs across the supply chain.
Aviation Use Cases
Supply Chain Management
Aircraft manufacturers and operators must track ad trace millions of parts, resulting in complex global supply chains. As an immutable source of truth, blockchain can help bolster transparency across these networks, ensuring all stakeholders have access to the same information in real-time.
Authentication & Certification
Aircraft manufacturers can use blockchain technology to authenticate the source of specifications of all inputs. This information is critical to limiting liability and complying with commercial and government regulations.
Emissions Tracking
Aircraft operations can leverage blockchain to tokenize CO2 emissions, streamlining sustainability initiatives and providing a transparent means of tracking outcomes. These benefits can help build trust with customers and stakeholders, reinforcing brand loyalty.
Loyalty Programs
Airlines can build customer loyalty programs that issue rewards as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These digital assets might cross-industry partnerships and collaboration or enhance customer engagement. Specifically, a customer might earn a reward that can be held or exchanged with others as a digital collectible. This digital incentive can provide special privileges like discounts on products or platforms, free merchandise, or even access to real-world events.
