MainTrack opens Asian office for innovative airline software solutions

Amsterdam, NL - MainTrack Services, a new provider of integrated world-class airline software solutions over the web, has opened its latest office in Hong Kong. This is in support of its global growth plans and adds to the Amsterdam and London offices already opened. MainTrack's Application Service Provider (ASP) model is a fully managed, hosted solution delivered over the web using the "Martini" concept - applications available anytime, anyplace, anywhere. These application services cover the full aviation domain including reservations, bookings and CRM, MRO, flight operations and crew management. Electronic flight bags are the latest addition to the portfolio of ASP services offered.

"MainTrack's ASP is the perfect solution to support an start-up airline or low cost carrier," said Marcel Kalsbeek, joint Managing Partner at MainTrack. "The simplicity of accessing all the IT applications over the Internet suits this type of low cost operation," he continued. "From a business perspective, the MainTrack ASP model just makes sense; you get access to world-class IT systems, without the cash flow burden associated with software licenses, servers, or internal IT infrastructure costs. And you don't need a big IT department to manage the hardware, software and to update these systems. MainTrack takes care of the integration complexities, allowing the airline to concentrate on our core business functions".

"We are delighted to have a presence in such a dynamic marketplace," stated Robert Kok, joint Managing Partner and co-founder of the MainTrack Group. "MainTrack is already teamed with a leading Asian low cost carrier and we see a lot of expansion for our services in the coming months. We are happy to see the trend for airlines to outsource their IT applications is clearly catching on, with big names like Embraer already using the MainTrack ASP. All the applications are proven in airline use for many years, so there is no risk with implementing them".
