ABSTRACT

Airline Reservation Systems (ARS) used to be standalone systems. Each airline had its own

system, disconnected from other airlines or ticket agents, and usable only by a designated

number of airline employees. Travel agents in the 1970s pushed for access to the airlines'

systems. Today, air travel information is linked, stored, and retrieved by a network of Computer

Reservations Systems (CRS), accessible by multiple airlines and travel agents. The global

distribution system (GDS) makes for an even larger web of airline information, not only merging

the buying and selling of tickets for multiple airlines, but also making the systems accessible to

consumers directly. GDS portals and gateways on the Web allow consumers to purchase tickets

directly, select seats, and even book hotels and rental cars. Airline Reservation System (ARS) in

conjunction with Global Distribution System (GDS) has led to ease of airline ticketing, flight

scheduling and also provided a means for customers to access and book flights from their homes.

It has also increased the speed with which information about customers are retrieved and handled

for flight scheduling tasks.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It is obvious that everything that is sustainable would have to go through advancement. In

science and technology, the desire for improvement is a constant subject which triggers

advancements. This is visible in every ramification and the airline industry is not an exemption.

Airline Reservation Systems (ARS) used to be standalone systems. Each airline had its own

system, disconnected from other airlines or ticket agents, and usable only by a designated

number of airline employees. Travel agents in the 1970s pushed for access to the airlines'

systems. Today, air travel information is linked, stored, and retrieved by a network of Computer

Reservations Systems (CRS), accessible by multiple airlines and travel agents. The global

distribution system (GDS) makes for an even larger web of airline information, not only merging

buying and selling of tickets for multiple airlines, but also making the systems accessible to

onsumers directly. GDS portals and gateways on the Web allow consumers to purchase tickets

directly, select seats, and even book hotels and rental cars. (Winston, Clifford 1995)

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The outcome of this study will provide a basis for developing the appropriate approach to the

problems associated with air traveling operations in relation to Airline Reservation Systems

(ARSs).

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

This thesis is aimed at exposing the relevance and importance of a real-time system for Airline

Reservation Systems (ARS). It is elevated towards enhancing the relationship between customers

and airline agencies through the use of ARSs, thereby easing the flight ticketing and selling

process.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This research work will be beneficial to all those who make use of Airline Reservation Systems

(ARSs), flight operators, air traveling operators, travel agents and airline agencies.

In addition, it will assist all those in computer-related disciplines who may want to appreciate the

system and also those doing research on similar topic.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This thesis is not only restricted to Airline Reservation Systems (ARSes), but also other systems

dedicated to the optimal performance in the airline industry; airline agencies and their customers

inclusive.

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTRODUCTION

In the early days of American commercial aviation, passengers were relatively few, and each

airline's routes and fares were tightly regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board. These were

published in a volume entitled The Official Airline Guide, from which travel agents or consumers

could construct an itinerary, then call or telex airline staff, which would mark the reservation on

a card and file it. This manual system is still used by relatively few travel agents who do not use

ARS. As demand for air travel increased and schedules grew more complex, this process became

impractical, hence, giving rise to the need of an automated reservation system called Airline

Reservation System (ARS). (Wikipedia, 2010)

2.2 WHAT IS ARS?

Airline Reservations System (ARS) is a computerized system used to store and retrieve

information and conduct transactions related to air travel. The systems was originally designed

and operated by airlines, but were later extended for the use of travel agencies. Major ARS

operations that book and sell tickets for multiple airlines are known as Global Distribution

Systems (GDS). Airlines have divested most of their direct holdings to dedicated GDS

companies, who make their systems accessible to consumers through Internet gateways. Modern

GDSes typically allow users to book hotel rooms and rental cars as well as airline tickets.

2.3 GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS (GDS)

Global Distribution Systems (GDS) are subsystems connected to Airline Reservation Systems

(ARS) which allows users access to information on flight scheduling and reservation stored in

the Airline Reservation System (ARS) database.

2.4 HISTORY OF AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM (ARS)

American Airlines was the first to establish an automated booking system in 1946. Using a

system to track information and improve efficiency was a highly appealing aim in the industry,

and drew the attention of other airlines worldwide. The system endured years of development

and alterations. Trans-Canada Airlines developed a computer-based system with remote

terminals that eventually took over operations in 1953. The same year, American Airlines

worked closely with IBM to develop an improved system, and the Airline Reservation System

(ARS) and the Semi-Automatic Business Research System (SABRE) launched thereafter in

1960. The network completed set-up in 1964, and it was recognized as the largest data

processing system in existence. Later, other airlines invested more in research and development

to launch improved systems, and through the late 1960s and early 1970s, airlines established

their own systems. United Airlines developed the Apollo Reservation System, and shortly after

allowed travel agents access. The Apollo system was the foundation for many further

developments, which spread from just US airlines to European airlines as well. The research and

development of Airline Reservation System became a significant aspect of the industry and all its

air carrier companies, and partnerships between airlines and technology gurus emerged.

(Morrison, Winston 1995)

Other airlines soon established their own systems. Delta Air Lines launched the Delta Automated

Travel Account System (DATAS) in 1968. United Airlines and Trans World Airlines followed in

1971 with the Apollo Reservation System and Programmed Airline Reservation System (PARS),

respectively. Soon, travel agents began pushing for a system that could automate their side of the

process by accessing the various ARSes directly to make reservations. Fearful this would place

too much power in the hands of agents, American Airlines executive Robert Crandall proposed

creating an industry-wide Computer Reservation System to be a central clearinghouse for U.S.

travel; other airlines demurred, citing fear of antitrust prosecution. (Wikipedia, 2010)

Airline deregulation occurred in 1978, magnifying the importance of computerized airline

reservation systems and their accessibility. During the early 1970s, as travel agents pushed for

access to reservation systems, and certain airline executives made investments for the sake of

accessing the systems of other airlines, antitrust laws came into focus. The purpose of the 1978

Airline Deregulation Act in the U.S. was to eliminate government control over commercial

aviation, and ensure competitive behavior and fair business practices in the airline industry.

Passengers could gain knowledge of market forces and new market entry in the industry.

Information on specific airlines and the industry as a whole became more widely and readily

accessible, evolving the airline reservation systems from "standalone" operations toward GDS.

(European Parliament, 2008)

Of the major types of airline reservation systems, most are linked to GDS to provide information

to travel agents, employees of other airlines, and the passengers or potential customers, directly.

The major systems include SABRE, Worldspan, Galileo, Patheo, and Abacus. American Airlines

now uses SABRE, also used by Expedia, Lastminute.com, and Travelocity. Abacus is used by

over 450 individual airlines, over 80,000 hotels, and over 25 countries in Asia. Companies like

Expedia share their system accessibility directly with consumers.Today, about six major airline

reservations systems are used by international airlines. (Winston, Clifford 1995)

2.2 DEFINITION OF TERMS

Airline Industry (Air Transport Industry): This is an area of commerce that uses aircraft to

transport people, cargo, and mail. The air transport industry encompasses flights of

common carriers (government-certified companies that offer cargo and passenger

services to the public) and general aviation (private aircraft used for recreation or

business). (Microsoft Encarta 2009, Microsoft Corporation)

Reservation: The written record or promise of an arrangement by which accommodations are

secured in advance. (WordWeb 5.1, WordNet Database)

System: This is any collection of component elements that work together to perform a

task.

NB: In computer science, System is used in a variety of contexts. A computer System is a

hardware system consisting of a microprocessor and allied chips and circuitry, plus an

input device (keyboard, mouse, disk drive), an output device (monitor, disk drive), and

any peripheral devices (printer, modem). Within this hardware system is an operating

system, often called system software, which is an essential set of programs that manage

hardware and data files and work with application programs. External to the computer,

system also refers to any collection or combination of programs, procedures, data, and

equipment utilized in processing information: an accounting system, a billing system, a

database management system. (Microsoft Encarta 2009, Microsoft Corporation)

Deregulation: The act of freeing from regulation (especially from governmental regulations).

(WordWeb 5.1, WordNet Database)

Network: In computer science network is a system used to link two or more computers.

Network users are able to share files, printers, and other resources; send electronic

messages; and run programs on other computers. (Microsoft Encarta 2009, Microsoft

Corporation)

Computerize: To control a function, process, or creation by a computer. (WordWeb 5.1,

WordNet Database)

Real-Time: Real-time system in computer means updating information at the same rate of

receiving information.

PNR: Acronym for Passenger Number, a unique number generated automatically to exclusively

identify passengers.

Fare: The amount paid by passengers as travel fee.

Flight Code: A unique number given to individual flight (airplane) to exclusively identify the

airplane.

Concession: The act of yielding. In air travel, concession refers to other special attachment, such

as baggage and any other special case (disability or preference), during conveyance of

passengers and goods.

CHAPTER THREE

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS

3.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is the method of collection of data and information as a research tool.

There are two main methods of data collection. They are Primary and Secondary Data Collection

Methods. (Atabong, T. A., 2009)

3.1.1 Primary Data Collection Method

This includes information and data from existing documents such as journals, articles,

periodicals, etc. They are fixed and sometimes outdated or generally updated periodically at

intervals.

3.1.2 Secondary Data Collection Method

This type of data collection is more specific. It involves gathering information on the current

status of the problem in discussion. It includes oral/personal interviews, observation and use of

questionnaires to collect and gather information and data on a particular subject. The information

and data gathered are usually up-to-date and precise.

The methodologies employed in this thesis were drawn from both secondary and primary data

collection methods these involve articles and periodicals collected from Internet and observation

and personal interview. Visits were made to some air travel agencies and personal interviews

were conducted with top management staff of these agencies. Agencies visited include, Aero

Contractors, NimiAir Nigeria and TarilaTravels Nigeria Limited.

3.2 SYSTEMS ANALYSIS

Atabong, T. A. (2009) posits that, “Systems analysis is the careful evaluation of the individual

components of an existing system with the intent of finding its weaknesses or problem area with

cognizance to improve the systems performance and/or develop a new better system”.

3.2.1 Analysis of the Existing System

The existing system is a manual system. This system is very time consuming and lazy. It is also

more prone to errors and sometimes the approach to problems is unstructured. Below is a

flowchart of the existing manual system.

Fig. 3.1: Flowchart of Existing System

3.3 NEED FOR NEW SYSTEM

The need for the new system arose from evaluation of deficiencies of the existing manual

system. These maladies include:

Flight Reservation

Ticket Reservation

BOOKING DEPARTMENT

Reservation system?

STOP

RESERVE TICKET RESERVE FLIGHT

TICKET RECORD FLIGHT RECORD

a. Lack of Speed

b. Inaccuracy

c. Unreliability

d. Uninformative

e. No facility for reservation and cancellation from anywhere to any place

The new system is expected to address the aforementioned issues and also increase manpower in

the organization by cutting cost of implementation and maintenance – since cost of managing a

computerized system is cost-effective than managing human resources – and also encourage

advancement in technological capabilities of any agency it is implemented, hence the system is

aimed at achieving optimum speed, accuracy, reliability, informative and also make room for

ticket and flight reservation and cancellation from anywhere to any place. Flowchart of the new

system is illustrated below.

CHAPTER FIVE

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION AND DOCUMENTATION

System implementation and documentation consist of the choice of programming language used,

the input specification, output specification, system requirement and necessary documentation

that guide’s the usage of the new system.

5.1 CHOICE OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

The programming language used in the development of the system is Visual Basic, a component

of the Visual Studio 6.0 application package. This choice is due to the object-oriented

capabilities of the programming language, meaning it supports coding in module and allow

reusability of software. The programming language is also easy to use and understand, and

support dynamic declaration and well coordinated program structure.

5.2 INPUT SPECIFICATION

Input specification stresses the various medium used to enter information/data into the system.

Here the basic input devices used are the keyboard and mouse. The input as earlier emphasized is

achieved by either clicking with the mouse or typing with the keyboard.

5.3 OUTPUT SPECIFICATION

The output devices required in the implementation of the new system are the Visual Display Unit

(VDU) and printer. The VDU displays the current process and the printer is used to print out

reports or tickets.

5.2.1 SAMPLE INPUT/OUTPUT

Fig 5.1: Sample Input1

Fig 5.2: Sample Input2

Fig 5.3: Sample Output1

Fig 5.4: Sample Output2

Fig 5.5: Sample Output3

Fig 5.6: Sample Output4

5.4 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

The system requirement given below covers the minimum system specification required to run

the new system.

a. Pentium III processor or higher

b. 1.5 Gigahertz Processor Speed or Higher

c. 256 Megabyte of memory (RAM)

d. 10 Gigabyte Hard Disk (Storage)

e. CD ROM Drive

f. Keyboard

g. Visual Display Unit

h. Mice

5.5 SYSTEM TESTING

Before any system or software is deemed correct, it must be tested for bugs and made error free.

– This system is not exceptional. Since humans are imperfect, during coding and testing, errors

were debugged. These errors range from wrong data type declaration, invalid variable names,

value range overflow, etc. After which, the program is made executable by selecting File menu

form the VB 6.0 application window menu bar, and selecting make ProjectName.exe (in this

case, make ARSystem.exe).

5.6 SYSTEM PACKAGING

In order to internationalize a new system, the system must be packaged. After making the new

system executable as mentioned above, the next step is packaging. Packaging means making the

new system compatible on different platforms/machines. Furthermore, packaging in VB 6.0

requires using another component of the Visual Studio 6.0 application called Package and

Deployment Wizard in the Visual Studio 6.0 Tools application folder which can be found on the

Start menu of any computer system. This is easily done by following commands in the packaging

tools wizard. And finally, the packaged application is saved into flash disks or written to CDs for

easy transfer from one system to another.

5.7 SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Before installing the application into any system, the system must have either a CDROM Drive

to allow installation from CD.

5.7.2 Installation from CDROM Drive

2. Insert the CD containing the application into CDROM Drive

3. Allow the CD to autorun

4. Open the folder containing the application (ARSystem folder)

5. Run the ARSystem.exe executable file

6. Follow the instructions on the installation wizard

7. Run the application from the Startup Menu after successful installation.

5.8 SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION

System documentation is a record of the processes involved in developing the new system –

from the analysis of any existing system to the design and implementation of the new system –

covering any errors encountered and how to troubleshoot the new system.

CHAPTER SIX

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

7.1 SUMMARY

This thesis proves beyond reasonable doubt, the impact of computerized airline reservation

system on the growth of the aviation industry in terms of accurate record keeping, speed in

response to ticketing/ticket reservation, efficiency in information handling and reliability and

cost effectiveness.

7.2 CONCLUSION

Airline Reservation System (ARS) has led to ease of airline ticketing, flight scheduling and also

provided a means for customers to access and book flights with ease and in time. It has also

increased the speed with which information about customers are retrieved and handled and flight

scheduling is tasked.

7.3 RECOMMENDATION

Owing to the ease and comfort of Airline Reservation Systems, local flights which are not on the

system should be encouraged to compensate the system. Secondly, the system should be made

affordable so as to encourage consumers and travel agents on patronizing the system.
