I specialize in aviation oriented messages, data transformation, and handling. There are numerous types of aviation file formats commonly used in the aviation travel industry. Airlines share data back and forth between reservation systems, passenger services systems (such as check-in and baggage handling), fare and tax management systems, and even accounting systems. The data formats are varied for various systems.
IATA is a company that helps standardize aviation and air travel messages throughout the world. IATA messaging standards allow air travel companies from all over to be able to talk to each other using standard message formats. IATA has standardized a set of INTERLINE messages, specifically designed for airlines and reservation systems to be able to communicate between each other. IATA Interline messages include PNR (Passenger Name Record), PNL and ADL (Passenger Name List) which are both used used for booking information and passenger manifest data.
UN/EDIFACT is another standard of communication which is governed by the United Nations. EDIFACT, or EDI (EDI EDIFACT) messages are used by US CBP (US Customs), as well as many other country’s governmental agencies.
I have developed systems that will convert and provide data transformation to CBP EDIFACT messages using EDI Mapping techniques specifically tailored to the aviation travel community. You can convert EDIFACT to XML, (EDI to XML), convert XML, perform XML parsing, and is able to convert to XML various interline messages as well as UN/EDIFACT CUSRES, PAXLST, and MCL message types.
I have developed systems designed to handle EDI and XML, perform XML parsing, and even rebuild manifests and other PNL/ADL IATA messages to and from various formats. I have web-based EDI software systems as well as windows custom software that offers EDI solutions and is a premier EDI tool for your message converting needs.
EDI and XML EDIFACT, interline messages, EDI and XML, XML parsing, interline message parsing and conversion, PNR and PNL to PAXLST, CUSRES… I can do it all!
I have also developed complete Airline e-Ticket Issuance and database systems that use EDI as well!
These systems were used and tested with GDS systems, International Customs and US CBP systems, and Homeland Security’s TSA systems.
