Airfare Price

Powered by the only proven next generation international pricing system in the world today

A multi-million dollar investment by SITA in Airfare Price enables customers to take advantage of new industry developments and easily manage the distribution of fares and rules data.  This server-based system provides greater flexibility in managing large transaction volumes in a highly stable and fault tolerant fares and pricing environment.

Overview

Airfare Price takes advantage of all fare display and pricing relevant automated data feeds, with extensive manually maintained data tables for those elements that no automated data exists (such as currency exchange rates and tax data). 

The extensive transaction set is available in both a green screen environment for SITA hosted carrier and via a structured XML message set.
