Feature of the Month
Welcome to Three New Customers!
Navitaire extends a warm welcome to our three new airlines: Interjet, Jazeera Airways, and LIAT Airlines. Read on to learn more about each of these carriers
Interjet
Interjet is the newest Mexican based airline, serving the domestic market through its hub in Toluca. Interjet has launched with four domestic routes with an expansion to 10 more routes planned in 2006. Interjet began taking reservations in mid October in preparation for an early December flight launch.
Interjet is our first new customer to launch services using Navitaire's New Skies reservation system. The New Skies reservation system was built from the ground up by Navitaire using the expertise from our highly successful Open Skies system. Based on a Microsoft .Net platform, the New Skies system offers new and expanded services to airlines including extensive web services to support customer experience differentiation, expanded third party connectivity, flexible reporting capabilities, and easy connections to additional low-cost payment solution providers. In addition to hosted reservation services, Interjet will also use two other new Navitaire services integrated with our reservation services - Navitaire's SkyPriceTM pricing optimization services for maximizing flight profitability and SkyLedgerTM revenue accounting system.
Jazeera Airways
Jazeera Airways, Kuwait's first privately owned airline, also launched services this fall. Upon launching reservations in September and its maiden flight in late October, Jazeera introduced low-cost air transportation to the Gulf Arab state as the first local competitor to Kuwait Airways. With seven destinations in six countries, Jazeera is off to a strong start to fuel their additional regional expansion plans.
Besides Navitaire's reservations systems, Jazeera Airways is also using Navitaire's newest product, the Geneva operations management and performance system in addition to other Navitaire services. The Geneva system will allow Jazeera Airways to efficiently manage its daily activities of both crew and aircraft and provide critical business intelligence on daily operations to airline executives.
LIAT - The Caribbean Airline
LIAT, based in Antigua, also joined the Navitaire family in September. LIAT has been servicing the Caribbean for over 49 years through its Antigua and Barbados hubs with an extensive network of over 20 destinations across the Eastern Caribbean. With its recent re-launch as a new quality-service, low-fare airline in the Caribbean, LIAT now offers convenient online bookings to its customers and agency partners, and expanded services to support its growing network of non-stop flights.
LIAT was also the first Navitaire customer to select both the Geneva hosted operations management services and the hosted reservations services in addition to other Navitaire services.
We wish all of these new airlines great success as they join the majority of the world's most successful and profitable airlines that use Navitaire's services today. If you wish to learn more about Navitaire's industry leading services, we invite you to contact us to learn more.
