Air Kiosk Reservations system Travel Partners booking agents

Who we are

Sutra, Inc. is the developer and ASP operator of the AirKiosk system, an integrated inventory, revenue and passenger management solution used by leading edge airlines around the world.

We are the technology and cost leader in new generation travel systems.

AirKiosk Systems

The AirKiosk system is a total solution for travel vendor PSS needs.

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 for hire are 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.
