Istanbul, 07 January 2019 – 2018 was Hitit’s most successful year since the company was founded in 1994. Three new partners joined Hitit’s network of airline partnerships.

With Pakistan International Airlines, Kam Air (Afghanistan), and Passion Air (Ghana); these new airlines have chosen Hitit‘s innovative Crane solutions in the fields of PSS, operations planning, and accounting. Today, Hitit‘s solutions and services are one of the most preferred choices for airlines from 5 continents in the airline IT marketplace.“
