AirAsia moves to New Skies res system

AirAsia said it successfully migrated its reservation system from Navitaire's Open Skies to New Skies over the weekend. The new system features a Low Fare Finder that provides customers the lowest available fare according to destination and dates of travel. It also will enable passengers to book seats for multiple-city itineraries such as Perth-Kuala Lumpur-Hong Kong, rather than requiring separate bookings for each leg, as was the case with Open Skies. "I am impressed with the hard work and commitment shown by the whole AirAsia team involved in ensuring the success of this brand new reservation system. We set a record of only nine months to complete this major migration, while other major airlines usually take 18-24 months," AirAsia Regional Head of Commercial Kathleen Tan said.
