Turkish Airlines continues to rely on codeshare management solution from Lufthansa Systems
Turkish Airlines will continue to optimize its codeshare flights with IT from Lufthansa Systems. Both partners recently renewed their contract for the use of the codeshare and schedule management solution SchedConnect for another 3,5 years.
SchedConnect is the most advanced system of its kind available today and offers a high degree of automation. Each day, it calculates the optimum codeshare assignments based on the current flight schedules. The system processes up to five million schedule changes of all SchedConnect customers every month. If a minimum connecting time is violated due to a schedule change or if a partner flight is cancelled, SchedConnect assigns automatically the marketing flight number to another suitable connecting flight. Changes are sent through the reservation systems to travel agents and customers as well as to the operations and passenger-related systems of the airlines involved.
Turkish Airlines, Turkey’s national flag carrier is the 4th largest in Europe in tems of number of passengers. Turkish Airlines is headquartered in Istanbul. Turkish Airlines offers flights to total of 155 total destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and the Middle East with a fleet of 131 aircraft.
