| AirKiosk Systems |
|
Our primary business is the AirKiosk system and ASP service,
the only travel distribution solution designed for the
Internet. The AirKiosk system has functions equal to those
of legacy IBM TPF- and Unisys USAS-based mainframe reservations
systems, with the added advantages of integrated eCommerce
and Revenue Management applications.
The AirKiosk system is the foundation for the AirKiosk Travel
Network, an alternate CRS which will allow AirKiosk system
users to directly participate in global distribution without
the expense of legacy GDS and network fees. |
| Consulting Services |
|
Custom consulting and development services are now a secondary
activity at Sutra. Over the years we have advised such
companies as Sabre, Worldspan, Atraxis, ARINC and Perot
Systems on new technologies and travel distribution strategies,
and provided key development staff to companies such as
Lufthansa Consulting and Korean Airlines. |
