Leading Indian software solutions company, Sonata Software Limited today announced that it has joined IATA’s Strategic Partnerships programme. With this, Sonata will participate in IATA initiatives on IT solutions and services in the activities of Passenger & Airport Services, Flight Operations, Environment and Fuel Services. Sonata has also joined IATA as Simplifying the Business (StB) Preferred Partner and will participate in the StB Fast Travel Programme.
With a strong foothold in the Travel vertical, this involvement further reinforces Sonata as a valuable supporter of IATA’s global initiatives and also as a strong player in the Travel, Transportation & Logistics (TTL) industry. Sonata has been delivering services to the TTL industry through two of its key entities: the internal TTL vertical group and TUI InfoTec – the Joint Venture with TUI AG, Europe’s largest travel group. Between them there are now 800+ travel domain and technology experts who have a wealth of experience in working with travel companies across the globe.
Sonata understands the current challenges faced by the travel and airline industry and is well poised to offer solutions and services that improve the travel experience, operational and cost efficiencies of the airlines and travel businesses. As the industry reinvents itself through business innovation, Sonata is geared to support the industry through its own innovative IT solutions and services.
