Transforming Travel through Data and Solutions

How To Supply Schedule Data

Innovata enjoys close cooperation with our airline and hotel partners who provide data for aggregation and subsequent distribution to the travel industry.

         

It is our delight to provide this page for all our airline partners who submit schedules and minimum connect time data to Innovata for inclusion in our database. Here we will keep you updated with our innovative developments that will help you work with us in an easier and more efficient way, always ensuring your data is being maintained with the highest of quality standards.

Every update you send us is passed through our quality control process before being included in our database. If we find any errors, omissions or have any questions during the QC process we will contact you for clarification before processing your data. After we have included your updates in our database we distribute the data to numerous clients around the world and also include your schedules in timetable systems we host for over one hundred travel related websites, as well as including your schedules in our flagship worldwide timetable – www.QuickTrip.com. If you have a participation agreement with Sabre, then we will be feeding your updates to Sabre for distribution to all Sabre, Abacus and Infini equipped travel agents worldwide. We update Sabre every Monday and Wednesday mornings.

 Need Your IATA Designator Code?

As an airline one of the prerequisites for commercial distribution of your schedules data is to apply for an IATA Two Character Designator. Innovata can help streamline the application process. When you supply your schedules data to Innovata for use in our database our Supplier Relations team will review that all mandatory data elements are present and comply with IATA’s requirements. Our team will then notify IATA that you have submitted your schedules to Innovata and are ready for IATA to review your application.

While your application is being validated by IATA you may continue to send updates/changes to your schedule data to Innovata in preparation for distribution.
Innovata markets and distributes the Schedules Reference Service (SRS) global database which contains the schedules of all airlines who file their schedules updates with us. The mission of the SRS is to provide the industry with the most complete, neutral, and accurate source of schedules data.

The SRS is distributed under an exclusive strategic marketing partnership established in 2003 between Innovata as the database management company and IATA.
