Time
is advancing and so is the travel
technology. People need faster and better services for their
needs, which are near at hand and easily accessible. When it comes to
airline reservation, there are so many first time or less frequency
users, there are many price sensitive users. In case of more frequent
users the booking process should be quick and transparent giving more
and more options and control to the user while selecting and booking
an airline. To improve the efficiency of the primitive booking
system, where there were reservation systems for a particular airline
with travel agents subscribed to them, online airline reservation
system is introduced, connected with the GDS systems (Global
Distributed System) to provide better deals and strong inventories to
global users.

| Airline Reservation System |
Airline
Reservation System is an online booking system connected with
global GDS
systems including Amadeus, Galileo and Sabre, which consolidates
the data from all the airlines. The booking engine connected with GDS
system provides better inventory and rates to end customers as the
number of airlines operating on the same routes will be many. Thus to
beat the competition, airlines provide special fares and discounts to
be one step ahead.
Airline
Reservation Systems have gone through multiple stages of development
since these were introduced. From a simple process of booking and
flight schedules management, to a complete travel assistant for
passengers, taking care of all of their needs from suggesting batter
options, booking the travel tickets till the end of their journey.
For
a particular airline operating in any specific geography, developing
a robust and flexible ARS is fundamental for maintaining a
competitive airline. It is a critical factor for deciding the sales
and reputation of an airline. An ARS usually contains information
regarding airline schedules, fare split ups, previous reservation
records for that passenger and future deals and discounts if there.
A
global distribution based airline reservation system connects to
several airlines and bring the data of availability and pricing at
one common window. It also provides the information to various
distributors and travel agencies working simultaneously round the
world. Airline reservation systems are dealing B2C, B2B, corporate
and white-label modules today.
Leading
GDS systems are Amadeus
