Thiruvananthapuram: National Aviation Company of India (NACIL), the merged entity of Air India and Indian, has decided to go in for a new IT solution, reported Business Line. The company goes for such an option is because of the fact that integrating the IT platforms of Air India and Indian has proved to be a complex issue as the two airlines use different platforms. V Thulasidas, Chairman and Managing Director, NACIL said the airline is in the process of identifying an IT solutions partner to roll out a new IT platform. It will take 12 to 18 months to complete this exercise. Even as the new IT platform is being rolled out, Air India will also be implementing its IT integration with the Star Alliance network, which it recently joined, Thulasidas added. Thulasidas said that as part of working out a completely new flight schedule for Air India, the company is also initiating a 'clean sheet exercise'. Besides, it is also working on improving integration of its international and domestic operations and schedules.
