The Research Paper aims to analyse and form a comparison between two companies, Sabre and Amadeus, which provide with airline reservation systems. A computer reservation system is used for the reservations of a particular airline and interfaces with a global distribution system (GDS) which supports travel agencies and other distribution channels in making reservations for most major airlines in a single system.

ARS eventually evolved into the computer reservations system (CRS). The airline reservations system was one of the earliest changes to improve efficiency.

It has also increased the speed with which information about customers are retrieved and handled for flight scheduling tasks. 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. GDS portals and gateways on the Web allow consumers to purchase tickets directly, select seats, and even book hotels and rental cars. 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. Today, air travel information is linked, stored, and retrieved by a network of Computer Reservations Systems (CRS), accessible by multiple airlines and travel agents.


Travel agents in the 1970s pushed for access to the airlines ‘systems. Each airline had its own system, disconnected from other airlines or ticket agents, and usable only by a designated number of airline employees. Airline Reservation Systems (ARS) used to be standalone systems. Main aim of the Airline Reservation System is to help the customers in reserving Air tickets through online.
