In the dynamic realm of airline and travel technology, Hitit has not only carved a niche for itself, but has emerged as the 3rd- largest Passenger Service System (PSS) provider globally, challenging the traditional duopoly legacy PSS providers. What sets Hitit apart is not just its cutting-edge technology solutions, but a holistic approach that encompasses consultancy support, transparency, and a commitment to industry standards. In this blog post, I would like to specifically summarize Hitit's journey and its positioning in the Americas.
Global Reach with a Local Touch
Operating on six continents, with over 60 partners and a network of 20 offices/representations worldwide, Hitit has strategically expanded its footprint. In the past five years, the entire American Continent (North, Caribbean and Latin America) has proven to be a pivotal region for the company, with a dozen partners, including prominent airlines like Bahamas Air, Winair, Surinam Airways, Contour Airlines, and Air Inuit. The recent addition of VoePass, LIAT, Sunrise Airways and Holiday Air, as well as several other airlines (we cannot reveal their names due to non-disclosure agreements) further cement Hitit's stronghold in the region.
Navigating Challenges with Resilience
Even amid the challenges posed by the pandemic, Hitit has successfully acquired Partners across various countries in the Americas, providing both PSS and stand-alone solutions from Canada to Argentina. The company's flexibility, cost efficiency, and reliability as an IT partner have been instrumental in navigating uncertainties, making it a trusted ally for airlines in the region.

In our unwavering commitment to excellence here at Hitit, we prioritize empowering airlines by embracing cutting-edge technological advancements in the dynamic aviation sector. Our approach involves listening attentively to the unique needs of each airline partner.

This philosophy, deeply ingrained in our corporate DNA, is reflected in every aspect of our service.

As we continue to evolve at Hitit, our dedication to flexibility remains unwavering, aligning seamlessly with our overarching goal – thriving together with our valued Partners.
