Istanbul/Karachi, 19 April 2019 – Hitit opened a liaison office in Karachi (Pakistan), strengthening its position in Asia. The office opening ceremony took place exactly one year after Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Hitit signed their agreement to provide PIA with Hitit’s new generation Passenger Service System (PSS). Today Hitit is the leading provider of airline software in Pakistan with its two airline partners PIA and K2 Airways. With this opening, Hitit has demonstrated its intention to strengthen its presence in Pakistan and the South Asia region.
One year ago, PIA and Hitit signed their partner agreement. After only five months the migration of PIA was complete and all the airline reservations, inventory control, ticketing and check-in procedures, flight operations, scheduling, revenue management and accounting were being processed by Hitit’s Crane solution suite.
The event was attended by the various dignitaries including representatives from European Union consulates, diplomats, the government of Pakistan, Military and many representatives from travel and aviation industries of Pakistan, such as IATA, Turkish airlines, PIA, K2 Airways, Gerrys and many others.
“The close relationship between Pakistan and Turkey gains its strength from its history”, said Nevra Onursal Karaagac, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Hitit. “We have strong ties due to a shared history, common faith, mutual trust and cultural similarities”, Mrs. Onursal Karaagac stated.
“PIA plays an important role not only in Pakistan but in the whole Asia region. PIA is the country’s image and brand in the international arena, and we support the Pakistani government in their goals to strengthen their image with the digital transformation of the airline. As the technology partner of PIA, we are acutely aware of our responsibility. We will continue to stand by PIA as their partner in this competitive world. We are proud and honored to be the chosen one.”, Mrs. Onursal Karaagac promised.
Hitit, which was named one of the Top 5 PSS providers in the field of aviation and travel IT systems, provides services to a wide range of carriers from start-up airlines to hybrid and network airlines like FlyArystan, Pegasus Airlines, PIA and many more.
