IBS’ iFly Res, one of the first New Distribution Capability (NDC) compliant PSS systems in the world, comprehensively addresses all the key functions including passenger reservations, schedules and flight control, inventory control, fares and ticketing and departure control.

We are delighted to associate with TruJetin its quest to be one of the premier airlines operating in India” said VK Mathews, executive chairman, IBS Software.
