Multi-brand LCC economics leave no room for large service teams, yet weather and utilization make disruption constant; agentic notify-and-rebook conversations absorb the spikes human staffing never could.
Lion Air Group operates Indonesia's largest airline fleet across Lion Air, Batik Air, Wings Air, and Super Air Jet, plus affiliates abroad, on a dense archipelago network.
Public factLion Air joined IATA in 2025 and operates large-scale seasonal programs such as Hajj charters — signals of an operational-standards push.
Public factUltra-low-cost, high-utilization scheduling plus tropical weather makes delays and cancellations a structural feature; on-time performance has historically been a public pain point.
Public factRefund and reschedule handling is heavily manual across brands, generating repeat contacts and airport counter congestion.
Reasoned inferencePassengers are WhatsApp-first and often first-time flyers who need guidance in plain Bahasa Indonesia rather than airline jargon.

Limited internal ability or appetite to build the core platform — strong candidate for the packaged solution
Evidence: An ultra-cost-focused, operations-led airline group with no consumer-software engineering tradition — it buys its systems (PSS, ops tools) from vendors and will buy service automation the same way.
Why they won't build the full stack: LCC margins fund aircraft, not software teams; there is no internal platform organization to build conversational AI, and the standards push behind IATA membership favors proven vendor solutions with clear accountability.
IATA membership in 2025 and large seasonal operations such as Hajj charter programs signal an operational-standards push pursued under strict cost constraints.
GTM implication: Position disruption communications as a standards upgrade that reduces cost — aligned with the IATA-era posture rather than a discretionary CX spend.
| Workflow | Why it matters here | Value | Complexity | Speed | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Proactive disruption notify & rebook Affected passengers messaged with options before they reach the counter; rebooking confirmed in-channel. | Every delayed rotation cascades across the day's schedule; uninformed passengers become airport crowds and social-media storms. Friction today: Announcements at the gate; rebooking only at counters; call center melts on bad-weather days. | WhatsAppSMSVoice | |||
Refund & reschedule status Live status answers and proactive stage updates from filing to payout. | Refund opacity drives repeat contacts and regulator complaints. Friction today: Manual processing across brands with no customer-visible status. | WhatsAppVoice | |||
Baggage irregularity claims In-chat claim intake with photos, tracked to resolution with proactive updates. | Mishandled-bag claims are emotional, document-heavy, and brand-damaging when slow. Friction today: Paper forms at airports; status by calling the station. | WhatsApp |
Voice & channel orchestration, telephony, conversational execution, session/state, routing, integration build. Capability coverage validated during implementation.
API access to these systems is the critical-path dependency.
Identity-bound sessions, policy-bounded actions, 100% audit logging, human approvals at defined points, in-tenant intelligence.
All figures are modelling estimates from the labeled inputs above — nothing here is customer-provided yet. The pilot's first job is replacing these assumptions with Lion Air Group's measured baseline. Package price covers implementation only; recurring usage billed separately.
Why this package for Lion Air Group: Disruption comms, refund status, and baggage claims across four brands is inherently multi-workflow and multi-channel — a Scale deployment with per-brand rollout.
Packages cover implementation and integration only. Recurring costs are billed separately: Tilicho Labs platform usage (~$0.15/call-min indicative, usage only), Google Cloud consumption, telephony/carrier charges, managed operations, and support & optimization. No package includes unlimited usage.
“Your cost base is the business model; your service reputation is the tax on it. Agentic disruption comms cut that tax without adding a single seat of headcount.”
“Integration is ops-control feeds plus the reservation system — one architecture serving all four brands with per-brand voice and policy.”
“Every IROPS day currently costs you counter chaos and crew time explaining. Proactive comms move that load to software the moment the delay is known.”
“Reaccommodation speed is revenue protection: passengers rebooked in-channel stay booked with you instead of demanding refunds.”
“Consistent, logged passenger communications strengthen your position on consumer-protection complaints and align with the standards push behind IATA membership.”
“LCC math applies: consumption-priced conversations versus staffed spikes. The pilot quantifies avoided counter and call-center cost per disruption event.”

Customer-safe by construction: drafts are composed only from customer-facing fields. Account tier, build-vs-buy classification, priority score, internal routing, and partner-commercial detail are not inputs to the composer, so they cannot appear in a draft. Money figures are always framed as modelled from the customer's own volumes. Read before sending — you own what goes out.
Indonesia's largest carrier group (Lion Air, Batik Air, Wings Air, Super Air Jet) with structurally heavy disruption volume across an archipelago network — huge workflow fit, price-sensitive buyer.
Operations-and-commercial workshop: connect flight-status feeds to a proactive rebooking pilot on one high-disruption domestic sector.
Entry: Proactive delay/cancellation notification & rebooking · Scale package · 10–14 weeks to production across priority workflows. Human fallback throughout; success thresholds agreed before build.
