Brief Introduction
A Computer Reservations System (CRS) is a
computerized system used to store and retrieve
information and conduct transactions related to air travel.
Originally designed and operated by airlines, CRSes were
later extended for the use of travel agencies; major CRS
operations that book and sell tickets for multiple airlines
are known as Global Distribution Systems (GDS).
Airlines have divested most of their direct holdings to
dedicated GDS companies, who make their systems
accessible to consumers through Internet gateways.
Modern GDSes typically allow users to book hotel rooms
and rental cars as well as airline tickets. They also provide
access to railway reservations in some markets although
these are not always integrated with the main system
