AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

CHAPTER 1-INTRODUCTION ABOUT PROJECT

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Airline reservation system is a platform that is designed to meet the demand of customers
and clients that are booking a particular flight online to a certain destination. The main
purpose of this software application is to reduce incorrect information given out to airline
technicians such as dates of departure or arrival due to language barriers and
misunderstanding. This online platform will make it convenient for customers and
potential clients to book a flight at any point of time.

The users will also have the right to modify the flight details, make a new reservation,
view flight schedule, and also to cancel the flight as per their wishes.

Furthermore, Airline reservation system contains details of the flight such as flight costs,
passenger reservations and ticket datasheet records added to its database. Customers do
not have to visit at the airline office to make a traveling reservation. This software was
designed to eliminate the old manual system and to implement artificial based
technology. The system is user friendly software that no formal education or profession is
needed to make use it.

Airline reservation system provides alternatives for watching identical and non-identical
routes available at a particular timeframe. The system checks for available seats on a
particular flight and if are to be find available then only a customer would be able to
make a reservation hence or otherwise the person will consider to choose other available
flights.

1.2 PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Airline Reservation System project is an implementation of a general Airline

Ticketing website like Orbitz, which helps the customers to search the availability and
prices of various airline tickets, along with the different packages available with the
reservations.

This project also covers various features like online registration of the users, modifying
the details of the website by the management staff or administrator of the website, by
adding, deleting or modifying the customer details, flights or packages information.

In general, this website would be designed to perform like any other airline ticketing
website available online

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

To provide some amount of automation in airlines management.

To help airlines system in making their business more efficient.

An added attraction for their potential customers.

It will also show the attitude of the management that they are aware to the newly
introduced technology and ready to adopt them.

CHAPTER 2. REQUIREMENT, SCOPE AND FEASIBILITY

2.1 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The airline reservation system creates a user-friendly interface between a customer and
administration to facilitate easy communication through software

This project on Airline Reservation System is the automation of registration process of

airlines system. The system is able to give much information like passenger’s
information, list of all passengers etc.
For data storage and retrieval, we use the file-handling facility of C Language. It enables
us to add any number of records in our database. But for intrinsic nature of file handling,
the retrieval process is slow when we search a particular record in the database, because
record is searched sequentially.

2.2 REQUIREMENTS

To run this project successfully it is required that certain software and hardware
requirements should be kept in mind. Following are the requirements:

Hardware Requirements:

Pentium - II to IV

Ram –32MB

H. D. space - 4xGB

2.3 FEASIBLITY

A feasibility study is carried out to select the best system that meets the performance
requirements.
Feasibility is the resolution of whether or not a project is worth doing. The process
followed in making this resolution is called a feasibility study. This type of study
determines if a project can and should be taken.

Since the feasibility study may lead to the commitment of large resources, it becomes
necessary that it should be conducted efficiently and competently and that no any
fundamental errors of judgment are made.

Depending on the results of the initial investigation, the survey is expanded to a more
detailed and explained feasibility study. Feasibility study is a test of system proposal
according to its effective use of resources, workability, effect on the organization and the
ability to meet user needs.

The objective of the feasibility study is not to solve the problem but to acquire a sense of
its scope. During the study, the problem definition is crystallized and aspects of the
problem to be included in the system are determined.
Consequently, costs and benefits are described with greater accuracy at this stage.

It consists of the following:

1. Statement of the problem:

An attentive worded statement of the problem that led to analysis.

 lOMoARcPSD|30638205

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

2. Summary of findings and recommendations:

A list of the major findings and recommendations of the study are made with a
lot of considerations. It is useful for the user who requires quick access to the
results of the analysis of the system under study.
Conclusion are made, followed by a list of the recommendation for them.

3. Details of findings:
An outline of the procedures and methods under-taken by the existing system,
followed by coverage of the procedures and objectives of the candidate system.
Included are also discussions of file structures, output reports, and costs and
benefits of the candidate system.

4. Recommendations and conclusions:

Specific recommendations regarding the candidate system, including personnel
assignments, costs, project schedules, and target dates.

There are three key considerations of feasibility study which are

1. Operational feasibility

2. Behavioral feasibility

3. Technical feasibility

2.3.1 Operational Feasibility:

Operational analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness
of a system. More commonly known as cost/ benefit analysis, the procedure is to
determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a system and compare them
with cost.

Earlier the work was done manually which takes a lot of people/labor as well as a lot of
time which is more economical. Now the same work is computerized which is more

 lOMoARcPSD|30638205

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

efficient and effective, doesn’t consume a lot of time, reduces labor/manpower which in
turn proves to be less economical and saves time.

2.3.2 Technical Feasibility:

Technical Feasibility bases on the existing computer system (software and hardware) and
also it can support any modification that can be made.

In manual processing there are more chance of errors are there, creating lot of
complications, less technical or logical. Through proposed system we can set this process
in a very systematic pattern, which is more technical, safe and reliable with full proof and
more authentic

2.3.3 Behavior Feasibility:

Our proposed system works to minimize the human errors that can happen, take less time
to work on everything easy interaction with user and most of all bug free.

CHAPTER 3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

The system analysis phase is regarded to be one of the most important phases in the
system development life cycle. It is extremely important that the software developer
make thorough study of the existing system. Thorough study of the system is made and
need i.e., features that are evaluative to system success and users wants (i.e., features that
would be good but not essential) are brought out. The study will enable the developer to
know the complexities of the existing system.
Requirement analysis is done in order to understand the problem which the software
system is to solve e.g., the problem could be computerizing the existing manual system or
developing a completely new automated system or a combination of the two. For large
systems having a large number of features and the need to perform many different tasks,
understanding the requirement of the system is an important and major task. The
significance in requirement analysis is on identifying what is needed from the system and
not how the system achieves its goal.

The main purpose behind any business organization is to maximize its profit besides
maintaining quality and strategic standards. This can be achieved by improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of the system by providing more facilities using automation,
by adopting faster data access, proper communication, whereas the main aim behind
automation is not only to maximize profit but also to take care of passenger’s interest by
providing them better and more comfortable facilities.
The most important objective behind automation is to minimize Paper Work. Paper
Work/Registers are replaced by a Centralized Data Bank, which is well equipped to store
and provide information as and when required. This Data Bank also helps speed up the
communication between various departments outside agencies, as there is no need of
making request against different departments for a specific data and to wait for it for a
long period of time. This also improves the efficiency and it saves time and human
resources.

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

By making the manual system computerized, we can ensure complete utilization of our
existing resources. Automation helps in generating the reports and information in a
consistent way, which saves time and labor/manpower if done manually.

3.1 SDLC

In this project we have followed the Waterfall model. The waterfall model is the most
familiar model. This model has five phases: requirements analysis and specifications,
design, implementation and unit testing, integration and system testing, and operation and
maintenance.

1. Requirements Analysis and Specification Phase:

The aim of this phase is to understand the exact requirements of the customer and
to document them properly. This activity is usually executed together with the
customer, as the aim is to document all functions, performance and interfacing
requirements for the software.

2. Design phase:
The aim of this is to modify the requirements specification into a structure that is
suitable for implementation in any programming language.
3. Implementation and Unit Testing Phase:
During testing, the major activities are concentrated around the examination and
modification of the code. Initially, small modules are tested in isolation from the rest
of the software product. The objective of unit testing is to oversee that each
independent module is correctly implemented. This gives little chance to determine
that the interface between modules is also correct, integration testing is performed.

4. Integration and System Testing Phase:

Downloaded by DHARUN J ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|30638205

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

System testing involves the testing of the whole system including the software part.
This is important to build confidence in the developers before software is delivered to
the customer or released in the market.

5. Operation and Maintenance Phase:

Software maintenance is a duty that every development group has to face, when the
software is delivered to the customer’s site, installed and is operational. Therefore,
release of software initiates the operation and maintenance phase of the life cycle.
The time spent and effort required to keep the software operational after release is
very important.

4.2 MODULE DESCRIPTION.

• Registration module;

Before a passenger uses a reservation system to book a flight of any other services
provided by the airline of a choice, he/she should have either downloaded the application
such as Make My Trip, which are required for the reservation or even use the web-based
software to have register themselves first before any of the procedures begin.

This would help the passenger to log in his/her account and view different details that are
needed by that time that would help in making the reservation process easier or more
suitable. This includes price of the flight, flight timing, seats available, type of the airline
and price for different classes if preferred and book the ticket after having best choices
sorted out.

• Administrative module;

This module is under or done by the administration where as they have to make sure that
every information on the airline is update every time that their changes. These changes
include seats availability, price of the ticket, timing of the flight, services such as hotel,
and types of meal provided during the flight also they have to manage the site by
organizing and checking on the passenger’s list.

This module has to make sure there is proper communication between the administration
and the user (passenger), ensure security and authentication process on the user’s account
and other services for the passengers that have long transit hours.

 Passenger module;

This is operated by the passenger or the user after the registration whereas they can
access their account using their log in information, perform online check-in that would
help in saving time on the counter.

After the log in the passenger can search for the flights from their departure to arrival city
at the time, airline, price, seat required /preferred by the passenger hence book the flight
whereas at the end they can provide feedback on the experience of their services and

CHAPTER 6. LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE SCOPE OF PROJECT.

6.1 LIMITATIONS

• Time and speed

These are dependent problems whereas by having slow speed that could be caused by
having internet problem that could lead to delay of booking flight, check in leads to either
delay flight or time wastage at the counter.

• Security problem

Since the reservation occurs online there might be with security bleach or hacking of
information thus leads to misleading of passengers.

• Costly

By having to maintain data whereas each data from every branch has to be maintained
and stored where as their copies have to be transferred to the concerned branch such as
agencies, airports thus it becomes so expensive in maintenance and time wastage.

• Skilled labour

Since the whole process requires people that either study airline course in case of
maintenance of documents and operating it becomes a challenge to the ones that desire
working to the sector with no high education experience.

• High cost

Having most of the process done online it leads to high charges where as you have to pay
for the service charges that are included in final ticket payment also at the same time you
have to pay for the internet used.

AIRLINE RESERVATION SYSTEM

6.2 FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

By having this system, it helps the airline companies to update and save in the flights and
packages schedules at different timings whereas the customers get to obtain flight price, seat,
meal and any other assistance that would help them have a comfortable flight.

Moreover, for the future purpose this project is to reach and being understood even by the rural
people whereas by development of this project we might use scan codes and applications,
whereas all this is possible by having internet thus having sufficient infrastructure to provide
them with internet that could help them save time moving to the city to meet the airline agencies.

6.3 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the airline reservation system was successfully designed and implemented
with the intension to limit manual operations. This system is user friendly and very much
flexible to non-programmers.

It is also tested for maximum accuracy and quality validation. During this project
designing, we have accomplished all the tasks and objectives to meet the organizational
needs. The system will be used in searching, retrieving and generating processed
information for the concerned request.

With this proposed system are reduced errors due to human intervention and conveniently
maintains any modifications to the flight and cancellations in the reservations made at
any point of time. It not only provides flight details but also creates a platform to book
tickets online, cancels or modifies ticket timings or dates and even informs about the
number of people available on board and seats that are already booked.
