ABSTRACT
This work is aimed at the development of
a web based Airline Reservation System. The current system of airline
reservation is faced with few technical issues, ranging from not allowing
passengers to cancel their reservations as well as does not provide
functionality for passengers to view price chart. This calls for the need to
develop a new system that corrects this error. The new system will allow the
passenger to cancel his/her reservation, if any
problem occurs and view price chat which did not occur in the old system.This
system will allow the airline passengers to search for flights that are
available between the two travel cities, namely the “Departure city” and
“Destination city” for a particular departure and arrival dates.
The objective of this study is to
develop a web based system that will ensure enablement of online flight
bookings, online access to passenger’s suggestions and complaints and a system
that will enable online news publications for flight operators accessible to
customers. The methodology adopted for this project is the Software Development
Life Cycle (SDLC). The system is developed using PHP, MYSQL, JavaScript and
Codeigniter. This current system will make passenger airline relationship with
the customers more flexible and reliable. This work successfully designed a web
based airline reservation system, solved the problem of passenger
unavailability to cancel flight option and provides easy access to flight
information.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Online Air Ticketing is
a kind of user assistance where customers can book tickets for flight online.
This is an easy method which saves a lot of time. Airline ReservationSystems
were first introduced in the late 1950s as relativelysimple standalone systems
to control flight inventory, maintain flight schedules, seat assignments and
aircraft loading. The modern Airline Reservation System is comprehensive suite
of products to provide a system that assists with a variety of airline
management tasks and service customer needs from the time of initial
reservation through completion of the flight [1]. One of the most common modes of travel is
traveling by air. Customers who wish to travel by air nowadays have a wide
variety of airlines, and a range of timings to choose from. Nowadays
competition is so fierce between airlines that there are lot of discounts and a
lot of luxuries given to customers that will give an edge to that particular airline
[2].
The World Wide Web has become tremendously popular
over the last four years, and currently most of the airlines have made
provision for online reservation of their flights.The Internet has become a
major resource for people looking for making reservations online without the
hassle of meeting travel agents [3].
Reservation is the
written record or promise of an arrangement by which accommodations are secured in advance [4]
Airline Reservation Systems (ARS) used to be
standalone systems. Each airline had its own system, disconnected from other
airlines or ticket agents, and usable only by a designated number of airline
employees. Travel agents in the 1970s pushed for access to the
airlines'systems. Today, air travel information is linked, stored, and
retrieved by a network of Computer Reservations Systems (CRS), accessible by
multiple airlines and travel agents. The global distribution system (GDS) makes
for an even larger web of airline information, not only merging the buying and
selling of tickets for multiple airlines, but also making the systems accessible
to consumers directly. GDS portals and gateways on the Web allow consumers to
purchase tickets directly, select seats, and even book hotels and cars rental [5].
1.1 STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
The
existing airline reservation system has the following shortcomings associated
with it.
§ Customers
are not able to make cancellations after making reservation in an event where
they are not able to travel again.
§ The
manual method of going to the airline desk to book flight is now obsolete and
tasking.
§ The
airline sites are not open to customers suggestions and complaint.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
OF THE STUDY
The
aim of the project is to Develop an Airline Reservation System.
The
objective of this study is to develop a web based system that will ensure: -
i. Enablement
of online flight bookings.
ii.
Provision of an option that will enable a passenger(s) to cancel his/her flight
due to whim or impulse.
iii.
Online access to passenger’s suggestions and complaints.
iv.
A system that will enable online news publications for flight operators
accessible to customers.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
This project is aimed at designing a new and better
alternative system to help the organization to produce available operational
reports when needed i.e reporting about the operational details that reflect
day to day activities of the airline, safeguard data and information in the
system database and keep accurate record on flight bookings and transactions.
