5.  The primary goal of this project is to help the passengers make flight reservation.
 The system will be able to find all the flights fulfilling a passenger’s needs.
 search all flights with a given origin and destination.
 The arrival and departure times, the price, and the flight number for each flight.
 The passenger will decide the flight reservation based on the displayed information.

6.  Airlines need to maintain multiple types of information
 Route information: Covers the destinations served by the
airline
 Aircraft information: Information on the aircrafts used by the
airline
 Schedule information: Covers information on days and times
on which the flights operated by the airline are scheduled to
run
 Fare information: Prices for various flights
 Reservation information: Passenger and cargo reservations,
including information on passenger tickets

7.  In 1950 American Airlines decided to set up a computerized system that
would allow real-time access to all its data across all its offices and
travel agents
 As a result, Semi-Automated Business Research Environment, or SABRE
was born in 1964. It was the first computerized airline system (CRS) in
the world
 SABRE was developed as a joint effort between IBM and American
Airlines
 When created, SABRE ran on two IBM 7090 mainframes. The
system was upgraded to IBM S/360 in 1972
 In the 1970s and 80s multiple CRSs came up in North America
 The first non-North American CRS was developed jointly by Air
France, Lufthansa, Iberia and SAS in 1987. It was named
Amadeus

8.  A CRS typically provides the following functions
 Flight schedule information: Days and times for flights
operated by the airline
 Availability information: Seat availability on a flight by
service class, i.e. Economy, Business or First class
 Fare quotes: A consolidated fare for an itinerary based on
flight, day, time, service class and passenger types chosen
 Reservation information: Seat bookings
 Ticketing information: Generating and storing tickets
 Refunds and cancellations: Cancellation of existing
reservations and tickets

9.  Although the CRSs simplified the task of maintaining airline
data, they brought in new problems
 In order to handle increasing passenger traffic, large computer
systems were required for CRSs. This created a cost burden for
airlines, especially the smaller ones which did not have enough
money to spend on expensive mainframe technology
 CRSs were airline specific. This required travel agencies who
wanted to sell tickets for multiple airlines to have individual
connections to each airline separately
 Availability and fare searches across airlines was not possible
since each airline had its own CRS. Since most passengers were
interested in purchasing the cheapest fare rather than a specific
airline, travel agents had to spend inordinate amount of time to
determine cheapest fares across airlines
