Airline Reservation System
AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM
1.1 Abstract
Main aim of the Airline Reservation System is to help the customers in reserving Air tickets through online. Airline Reservation Systems (ARS) used to be standalone systems. Each airline had its own system, disconnected from other airlines or ticket agents, and usable only by a designated number of airline employees. Travel agents in the 1970s pushed for access to the airlines ‘systems. Today, air travel information is linked, stored, and retrieved by a network of Computer Reservations Systems (CRS), accessible by multiple airlines and travel agents. The global distribution system (GDS) makes for an even larger web of airline information, not only merging the buying and selling of tickets for multiple airlines, but also making the systems accessible to consumers directly. GDS portals and gateways on the Web allow consumers to purchase tickets directly, select seats, and even book hotels and rental cars. Airline Reservation System (ARS) in conjunction with Global Distribution System (GDS) has led to ease of airline ticketing, flight scheduling and also provided a means for customers to access and book flights from their homes. It has also increased the speed with which information about customers are retrieved and handled for flight scheduling tasks.
Keywords: Airline Industry, Reservation, System, NB, Deregulation, Network, Computerize, Real-Time, PNR, Fare, Flight Code, Concession, Amadeus, Sabre.
1.2 Introduction
An airline reservation system (ARS) is part of passenger service systems (PSS), which are applications supporting the direct contact with the passenger. The airline reservations system was one of the earliest changes to improve efficiency. ARS eventually evolved into the computer reservations system (CRS). A computer reservation system is used for the reservations of a particular airline and interfaces with a global distribution system (GDS) which supports travel agencies and other distribution channels
