While our competitors are still writing their concepts and painting their glossy brochures, our solution for start-up airlines is already finished and live.
In our recently completed project with Flyr, the innovative and digital newcomer from the north, we were able to impressively confirm that an airline today can start business operations without any ballast from outdated industry solutions.
Traditional PSS were built and designed for complex airlines. Why should these then also be suitable for start-up airlines that prefer to invest in the product rather than in expensive it systems?
