New push to sync bookings between THAI and subsidiary

THAI appears eager to remove long-standing snags involving its booking system, which is unable to synchronise with that of budget subsidiary THAI Smile. The flag carrier's board has reportedly prioritised the matter, which has impeded joint ticket sales and become a hassle for the travelling public. The directive is part of an operational integration push between the two airlines. The integration also forms an essential part of THAI's rehabilitation, now in the advanced stage, with an eye to turning THAI Smile's balance sheet back to black. Synchronising the different reservation systems -- Amadeus for THAI and Navitaire for THAI Smile -- is especially relevant now that the parent firm is transferring the majority of its domestic and regional services to its four-year-old subsidiary. <br/>
