The necessity of surviving during the economic upheaval of a global pandemic is fueling innovation in the airline industry. A new age of aviation is being built on digital technology and APIs to improve data sharing, reduce costs, and optimize revenue for carriers.

API standards are the key to the success of any digital initiative, enabling interoperability between independent parties. The industry trade association responsible for developing the global standards for airlines is utilizing SwaggerHub, the industry-leading API design and documentation platform, to help bring these best practices to life.

This webinar explores how IATA’s Open Air initiative allows the industry to open up its digital capabilities for innovation, Open Air standard as the common technical approach to describing API definitions, and includes a live API design demonstration with SwaggerHub and IATA.

Thousands of teams use SwaggerHub to bring high quality applications to market faster, including more than 100,000 API practitioners in more than 40,000 organizations and 200,000 API projects.
