Thiruvananthapuram, May 1 MASholidays, the travel and leisure arm of Malaysia Airlines, has opted for the iFly Tour software solution developed by the city-based IBS Software.

Commenting on the tie-up, Mr V. K. Mathews, Chairman and CEO of IBS Group, said, “iFly will give Malaysia Airlines and MASholidays a competitive edge by enabling them to offer customers a complete travel service by packaging air seats with non-air travel components.” IFly Tour is part of the iFly software suite created by IBS, which develops software solutions for the global travel, transportation and logistics sectors.

iFly Tour provides a complete travel solution through a single point of sale, said an IBS press release. It will enable MASholidays increase the market reach of its products using an online booking system that is integrated with real time inventory of flights, hotel rooms and other products, the release added.

According to IBS, the iFly Tour software will also offer MASholidays’ guests the flexibility to choose tours and packages that best suit their needs and budget, and settle accounts through an e-payment gateway. The system will also facilitate ancillary revenue for the airline by packaging its air seats with hotels, transfers, car rental services, tours and so on.

MASholidays expects to start using the new software by the second half of this year, said Mr Rashid Khan, Commercial Director, Malaysia Airlines.
