RUSSIAN AIRLINES have completed their transition to domestic automated ticket booking systems as the industry continues to struggle with international sanctions. According to the Ministry of Transport, 53 different carriers including Aeroflot have moved away from foreign providers amid concerns over the confidentiality of company and personal data and claims of threats of service withdrawal and are using the locally made Leonardo or TAIS systems.
Deputy Minister Dmitry Bakanov said: “Now, all Russian air carriers are using domestic ticket booking systems and are free from threats of unilateral termination of services of foreign providers. All settlements within the system are made in rubles. Our air companies and developers have managed to cope with migration in the difficult conditions stemming from Western partners’ refusal to provide original data.”
