Simplifies operations, unlocks revenue opportunity, and enables the end-to-end customer journey for mid-tier carriers and fast-growing airlines; Recent acquisition of Travel Technology Interactive kick-starts the realization of the company’s vision

PARIS, Sept. 24, 2024 — CitizenPlane, a leading distribution software company for airlines and tour operators, today announced the launch of the CitizenPlane Operating System (OS) for mid-tier carriers and fast-growing airlines. Designed to unlock new commercial opportunities with solutions that are readily available, the modular, all-in-one platform empowers airlines to manage offer creation, revenue optimization, distribution, and delivery.  The industry-first offering leverages CitizenPlane’s recent acquisition of Passenger Service System (PSS) provider Travel Technology Interactive’s (TTI) Zenith software. Looking ahead, plans to enhance its OS capabilities, to include for example, revenue accounting and crew management solutions, through acquisitions and product innovation.

CitizenPlane was founded in 2017 as a platform for airlines and tour operators to distribute unsold seats to online travel agencies (OTAs) and metasearch websites. The company grew rapidly, and by January 2024, it was working with 1,000+ partners in 70+ countries. To continue its growth, CitizenPlane acquired Travel Technology Interactive (TTI) and its Zenith PSS software, then launched the CitizenPlane Operating System (OS) in September 2024.

The CitizenPlane OS extends and modernizes the traditional PSS concept by breaking down monolithic technology into easily adaptable cloud-based applications. The result is a modular platform designed to simplify complex operations. The CitizenPlane OS will quickly deliver innovation across the airline business and reduce the overhead of running separate software solutions.

The CitizenPlane OS features a market-first flight distribution solution – AIR. The AIR module allows airlines and tour operators to instantly distribute inventory, outside of the GDS, to a host of online travel agencies (OTAs) and metasearch websites. This resolves a major challenge for smaller airlines that lack easy, low-cost access to large-scale distribution channels. “Our vision is that all airlines will be able to benefit from effective innovation,” said Charles Rajjou, CEO at CitizenPlane. “We are building on the technology foundations laid by the pioneers who have delivered the industry to the thriving business it is today and bringing to the table a laser-focus on elegant simplicity that has become our hallmark.”

The new CitizenPlane OS allows airline business users to easily define and manage their retailing strategy, from creating flight content, ancillaries and bundled offers, to distribution through any point-of-sale, in compliance with industry standards including IATA NDC.
