ClarityTTS: 'Uberifying Air Travel' With Simplified Multi-Airline Itinerary Management

Thava Tharmalingam, CEO

A single airline carrier, no matter how big, can hardly reach all airports existing in the world. To overcome this challenge, airlines are engaging in interline partnership with other airlines to offer larger flight products to generate incremental revenue. This transition, accelerated with the help of the International Air Traffic Association (IATA), has paved the way for greater revenue generation for airlines.



Airlines are leveraging Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA), which is providing them a standard path to cooperate with numerous IATA carriers across the globe. With Interline Electronic Ticketing (IET), passengers are able to fly with multiple interline partner airlines with a single document. The billing and settlement services for the interline arrangements are taken care of the IATA Clearance House (ICH). The revenue sharing calculation methods are clearly defined by IATA.

The challenge for airlines, however, is in the tariff publishing for the interline products. Since this function is solely the responsibility of the ticketing airline, the ability to sell the interline product completely depends on the publishing of tariff that match the interline itinerary. Therefore, depending on the airlines internal resources and policies, many airlines publish tariff only for part of the interline products.

The Clarity MATM solution creates tariffs in real time for interline itineraries based on proration methodologies such as SPA, MPA and Alliance RAA. Its front end and GDS solutions create flight connection as per interline partnerships agreements.Clarity MATM enables access to the products and pricing to global B2B and B2C markets.
Its unique features add value to airline retailing and facilitate the acquisition of global market for distribution. The plug and play implementation and real-time pricing automation make it simple to onboard and achieve immediate results. Instant marketing is an added selling point for airline partners, enabling them to create awareness in digital and non-digital markets.
