Partners Provides a Booking Engine for LTU

 

Bremen-based IT specialist, Partners Software, is developing a new booking engine (IBE) for the airline LTU. This is intended to be implemented primarily abroad and increase the amount of flight bookings to Germany. The most important user market will be the USA.

The Dusseldorf-based airline LTU and Partners Software have agreed that Partners develop a booking engine for the airline's international sales. Above all, LTU will implement the new IBE within the USA, for both quantitatively increasing and simplifying bookings for this market’s long-haul flights. The solution for LTU will be hosted in Partners’ Bremen-based data-processing centre. Technically, the solution is based on Partners’ TRIP.ONE XML interface, which directly accesses the Amadeus reservation system/CRS.

“We decided upon Partners, since the company has the necessary experience for the American market, which is increasingly important for us,” says Michael Rudolf, International Sales Manager. The partners are planning on releasing the booking engine in April 2007.

"Our extensive international experience in various markets has greatly helped us with this important project with LTU," states Partners' Managing Director, Wolfgang Brinker. Partners is not only knowledgeable about the technical components of such a project, rather also knows market conditions exactly.
