June 30, 2015 | David Kiron | Data, AI, & Machine Learning

Hong Kong's premier airline is using a blend of data and know-how to guide its daily operations.

"Analytics will give you statistical spreads, give you training, but you still need to have this thing called experience and insight," he says.
