About United Airlines
United relies on a crew of 41,000+ pilots, flight attendants, and flight schedulers to operate over 1.6 million flights a year on a tight schedule. Because their crew scheduling application was cumbersome to use and difficult to change, United decided to modernize their technology using Couchbase Server and Couchbase Mobile. After they successfully streamlined work processes and simplified data management, United continued using Couchbase to update more of their business-critical applications, including their online and mobile booking apps.
