IBS Software, which provides SaaS solutions for the travel and cargo industry, is now providing SkyUp with a comprehensive Passenger Services System (PSS) to support efficient operations.

SkyUp, a digital-first airline, has garnered widespread recognition for its bold and innovative strategies since the onset of the war. From swiftly evacuating its fleet from restricted airspace to transitioning into an ACMI provider and securing an Air Operator Certificate in Malta to enable operations across Europe, the airline has consistently adapted to challenging circumstances.

As SkyUp Airlines now resumes regular flights in the EU, following its temporary role as an ACMI and charter carrier, this move to the state-of-the-art PSS is a key milestone for the airline.

Daria Alieksieienko, Chief Commercial Officer at SkyUp said: "We are thrilled to announce a successful migration to IBS Software's digital solutions. Adopting advanced digital tools into our rebrand will transform our personalised customer service capabilities and strengthen our recovery following the conflict in Ukraine. Our partnership with IBS Software signifies triumph in the face of adversity and we are excited about the opportunities ahead."

For SkyUp and beyond, IBS Software's iFly Res ensures integrated operations, rapid implementation, scalability according to individual business needs, an enhanced customer experience and compliance with modern standards, like IATA NDC and One Order.
