Λίγο παλιό: United to leave Travelport reservations system and transition to HP
Important stuff:
Important stuff:
In the days when airlines commonly owned reservations systems and GDSs — then known as Computerized Reservations Systems or CRSs — United created the Apollo Reservations System in 1971.
The decision is a big win for HP, which provides reservations systems for numerous carriers and has a contract to build a new reservations system for American Airlines. American calls the new res system Jetstream and HP is marketing its next-generation res system as HP Agilaire Passenger Service Solution to other airlines.
United’s decision to transition to HP is a significant blow to both Travelport and Amadeus.

United is among Travelport’s largest customers in North America and as late as April 2010, Travelport was stating publicly that it didn’t expect United to transition to a different reservations system.
United’s decision to transition its internal reservations system to HP could conceivably lead to a legal wrangle with Amadeus.
In 2005, United signed a contract to transition its internal reservations system from Apollo to the Amadeus Altéa solution, but the migration never happened.
