Airline Reservations System (ARS) is an online application software used to retain, retrieve information and perform transactions related to air travel. Originally designed and performed by airlines, ARS was later developed for the use of travel agencies.

Airline Reservation Systems incorporate, fare tariffs, passenger reservations, airline schedules, and ticket records. An airline's direct distribution works within its reservation system, as well as pushing out information to the GDS.

The second types of direct distribution channel are consumers who use the internet or mobile applications to make their own reservations. Travel agencies and other indirect distribution channels access the same GDS as those accessed by the airline reservation systems, and all messaging is transmitted by a standardized messaging system.

It functions on two different types of messaging that transmit on SITA's high-level network (HLN). The first one is Type A [usually EDIFACT format] for live communication and Type B [TTY] for the informational and booking type of messages.

Since Airline Reservation Systems are functionally quite complex, and they are business-critical applications, the operation of an in-house Airline Reservation System is relatively expensive. Before deregulation, airlines owned their reservation systems with travel agents subscribing to them. Today, the GDS is run by independent companies with airlines and travel agencies being major subscribers.

In the airline industry, inventory referred to as the available seats. The inventory of an airline is generally categorized into different classes.  For example: first, business or economy class and up to 26 booking classes, for which different prices and booking conditions apply.

Inventory data should be maintained by the distribution system over standardized interfaces. One of the core functions of inventory management is inventory control. Inventory control guides the by opening and closing individual booking classes for sale.

A combination with the prices and booking conditions stored in the Fare Quote System, the price for each sold seat is determined. In most cases, this inventory control system has a live interface to an airline’s Yield management system.

It is used to support a permanent optimization of the offered booking classes in response to changes in demand or pricing strategies of a competitor.
