TIK
SYSTEMS INTRODUCES "tikAERO";
I.T. TOOL DEDICATED TO LOW-COST AIRLINES
BANGKOK (11 JANUARY 2006)--TIK Systems,
a leading high-tech service provider to
the global airline industry, today introduced
one of the world's first integrated passenger
reservation and airport departure control
tools tailored to the needs of low-cost
carriers, regional airlines and new entrants.
The system, "tikAERO," is designed
to provide maximum flexibility and functionality
at a cost well within the operating budgets
of smaller carriers and new entrants.
Using tikAERO, airlines can efficiently
manage flight planning, departure control
schedules, reservations, ticketing, check-in,
fare and revenue management and customer
service all from a web-enabled platform.
tikAERO's unique system architecture enables
users to pick and choose among its various
modules, or select tikAERO's robust end-to-end
solution to manage all aspects of their
operations.
"The unprecedented challenges facing
the world's airlines demand automated
solutions that are as powerful as they
are economical. This is especially true
for smaller, low-cost airlines that must
meet customer requirements, gain access
to real-time data for reporting and decision
making and execute a cost-effective business
model on limited I.T. budgets," said
Roland Heller, Managing Director of TIK
Systems. "We developed tikAERO to
deliver network carrier capabilities at
a price that even the lowest-cost carrier
can afford."
tikAERO breaks with the philosophy of
legacy mainframe-based airline reservation
systems by offering a modular, scalable
platform to support a low-cost airline's
dynamic operational environment, Heller
said.
"tikAERO is more than an e-booking
and check-in system," said Heller.
"It also provides integrated yield
management functions, revenue accounting
and flight planning applications. It was
conceived to serve as a strategic and
tactical tool for low-cost carriers and
regional airlines by combining the benefits
of global distribution with full control
over the airline's data. All operating
information is shared on the network and
easily accessible by any application or
user on a scalable and robust platform."
