BANGALORE: Software solutions provider IBS Software Services has announced that
Cendant Travel Distribution Services, the marketer of its next-generation
Passenger Services System (PSS), aiRES, has signed an agreement with Virgin Blue
Airlines.
Australia's Virgin Blue is the third high-profile customer to sign-up for
aiRES, which provides airlines technical foundation to support their business
and efficiency.
aiRES is built on open systems technology and is designed to replace less
flexible, more expensive legacy systems now common in the industry. The new,
more efficient system supports future growth by providing comprehensive
passenger reservations, inventory control, fares, ticketing, and departure
control functions.
It also offers a myriad of different airline business models for today's
ever-changing competitive environment. Designed to be fully configurable, aiRES
allows airlines to respond quickly to an evolving market, without the need for
complex and costly development.
According to VK Mathews, chairman and managing director, IBS, “IBS is
perhaps the only IT company which has undertaken path-breaking initiatives to
build new generation systems for all the areas of airline business - passenger
services, cargo services and flight operations. We are very excited about Virgin
Blue's decision to go with aiRes, which I am sure, will keep Virgin Blue ahead
of the competition. This win is a demonstration of the complementing strengths
of Cendant and IBS to bring state-of-the-art solutions to the airline
business."
