Opening up the Airline Industry
OpenAirlines.org is the community site for an open-source initiative in the airline industry.
Its aims at gathering industry expert volunteers (airliners, vendors, consultants and other enthousiastic people) around open royalty-free standards, and open-source commodity components.
The purpose of this initiative is to solve the integration nightmare by providing open solutions that can bridge the gap between airlines and vendors, and help airlines keep their information system organized. We believe that this initiative shall ease the modernization of legacy systems and the adoption of modern software (vendor-based, in-house or open-source) in the industry.
