This document contains a case study submitted by a student named Sana Riaz to their professor. It discusses how airline reservation systems help airlines operate more efficiently and provide good customer service by saving customers time, providing travel and hotel booking facilities. It also explains how these systems increase competition between airlines and make it difficult for new, smaller airlines to compete against major carriers that already have established systems. The student suggests some additional services like real-time flight tracking, in-flight internet access, and air signals that could improve customer service and efficiency further.
