“We at Hitit are very proud of this award. It is great recognition for our teams,” said Nur Gokman, CEO of Hitit. “Passenger Service Systems are regulated, mission-critical and complex platforms that normally have difficulty embracing change at the rate the airline industry currently demands. At Hitit we are passionately dedicated to evolving in line with the airline industry's needs and trends. That’s why we offer the most flexible solution; our PSS solution has the ability to transform with the industry, grow with partners and help them achieve their strategic objectives, whether it is to maximize customer experience or to boost revenues. Our core product, Crane PAX, is an innovative turnkey PSS solution, with one of the shortest implementation times in the industry. Crane PAX has also many competitive advantages like significant GDS cost reduction, a dramatic decrease in Type-B messaging costs, and increased revenues from advanced ancillary sales features which have provided 25% growth on average each year, for airlines using Crane PAX.” added Mrs. Gokman.
International Transport News pointed out, that “the awards recognize those firms who have contributed to the ongoing success of the industry, and reward them for their hard work, innovation, and accomplishments. As is the case with all our awards, these awards are solely based upon merit”.
