Airline lounges are designed to offer calm, convenience, and comfort before takeoff — but managing hundreds of guest inquiries every hour can be challenging. From flight updates and meal requests to booking issues, staff often juggle multiple conversations at once. Dante AI chatbots help airlines enhance these experiences by automating common questions, scheduling premium services, and connecting guests to live staff when needed.
