1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This project is aimed at exposing the relevance and importance of Airline flight information system (AFIS). It is projected towards enhancing the relationship between customers and airline agencies through the use of ARSs, thereby easing the flight ticketing and selling process and all air traveling operations. .
1.4 LIMITATIONS
The project work is limited to ONLINE AIRLINE RESERVATION PORTAL FOR TRAVELING SERVICES PROVIDER. In the process of carrying out this research work, some factors tried to hinder the free flow of work. These factors include
 Time: Time factors in the sense that the semester was short and as a result combing this work with studies was tedious.
 Finance: Finances were rather on the lean side and as a result it affected the carrying out the research in that monetary commitment was needed for going to the case study, photocopying document, browsing etc.
1.5 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The Airline Reservation System (ARS) is a software application to assist an airline with transactions related to making ticket reservations, which includes blocking, reserving, cancelling and rescheduling tickets.
1. Minimize repetitive work done by the system administrator and reservation clerks.
2. Maintain consistency among different access modes, e.g. by phone, by web, at the information desk and across different physical locations. The users should be basically taken through the same steps by the system as they go through in conventional desk-reservation systems.
3. Maintain customer information in case of emergency, e.g. flight cancellation due to inclement weather. The profile can also be used by the airline company to track user preferences and travel patterns to serve them better, plan routes, for better marketing and efficient scheduling of flights.
4. Maximize the revenue of the airline company by various means:
5. Increase awareness among frequent travelers about various special offers and discounts.
6. Minimize the number of vacant seats on a flight and maximize flight capacity utilization.
7. Maintain the capability to adopt a flexible pricing policy. The price of the tickets should be dynamically determined based on how early, before the date of departure, the customer buys the ticket.
1.6 SIGNIFICANT OF STUDY
The significant of Airline management system is the computerization of the activities of the organization. It helps to facilitate the dairy operation of the organization. The economy of the organization is affected positively because of the computerization of their operation. The findings of this research will also help the management to increase the income generation and smooth running of the everyday activities.
This presentation will be beneficial to all those who make use of Airline flight information system (ARSs), flight operators, air traveling operators, travel agents and airline agencies.
In addition, it will assist all those in computer-related disciplines who may want to appreciate the system and also those doing research on similar topic.
1.7 SCOPE OF DELIMITATIONS
This study is restricted to the full operations of Air Nigeria Company with respect to ONLINE AIRLINE RESERVATION PORTAL FOR
TRAVELING SERVICES PROVIDER.
1.8 ASSUMPTIONS
It is assumed that the new system will do the following:
a. the new system will create room for the client to know all the necessary facts about their operation.
b. The new system will create an avenue where by the measurement and Gross weight of the airline will be known and the commensurate fees to be paid.
C. The new system will also make all the on-line operations carried out in airline management in Air Nigeria an easy task for official and staff of the establishment.
1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
1. Administration: is an aspect of running the organization by devising systems which will run smoothly.
2. Client: This any process that request specific services from server processes.
3. Computer: This is an electrons machine that can accept; handle and manipulate data by performing arithmetic and logic operations without human intervention usually under the control of programmes.
4. Data: This is for runner of information. It is unprocessed fact.
5. Database is a collection of information that is related to a particular subject or purpose.
6. Hardware: This is the electromechanical part of computer system.
7. Information: This is data that have been processed, interpreted and understood by the recipient of the message or report.
8. Internet is a collection of computer networks that operate to common standards and enable the computes and the program they run to communicate directly.
9. Server: This is a process that provides requested services for clients.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThis project was out of the necessity to address the inherent problems encountered by members of staff of Air Nigeria and their customers. The manual processes involved in the management of airline were critical examined and the flows noted. The software so designed offers to a great extent, the solutions to these problems. The project went further to ret the different techniques used in implementing the newly design software in order to facilitate a broader understanding of the design s ... Continue reading---
