Navitaire

Navitaire was founded as PRA Solutions in 1993 by Accenture. It initially provided airline revenue accounting software and revenue protection software for airlines. The company then developed a direct-distribution platform to book airline reservations, "World Network," an alternative to the global distribution system traditionally used by travel agents to sell airline flights. In 2000, PRA Solutions purchased the Open Skies reservation system from Hewlett Packard, and in 2001, changed its name to Navitaire.

In 2002, the firm implemented codeshare technology for Virgin Blue, and the company later introduced multi-city bookings at the request of Jetstar. Following Hewlett Packard's announcement in 2001 of its plans to discontinue support for the HP3000 hardware that the Open Skies system operated on, Navitaire developed a replacement reservation system called New Skies. The company began converting clients to the new system in 2005. Navitaire was acquired by Amadeus in 2015.

Navitaire's passenger service system is New Skies, which was introduced in 2005. It introduced features including a low fare finder and multi-city bookings. The system provides reservations via the Internet, call centers, and through global distribution systems (GDS) using a ticketless model as well as enabling e-ticketing. It also allows integration with other travel services such as travel insurance and car rental, as well as codeshare agreements with other airlines. As of 2010, the firm had 80 such codeshare connections to partner airlines, as well as nine GDS connections.

Navitaire offers additional products and services including Travel Commerce, a platform to aid in ancillary revenue generation and a loyalty system. The company also offers real-time reporting, revenue accounting software and revenue management. It provides a reservations management system for railways called Navitaire Rail, which facilitates multi-channel distribution sales and station check-ins for rail carriers.
