MATIP stands for Mapping of Airline Traffic (means airline reservation, ticketing, and messaging traffic) over TCP/IP.
MATIP is preferred over classic Airline Traffic lines because
- it allows to use low-cost tcp/ip global networks instead airline-specific networks
- it will decrease the number of communications sessions to manage
- Current airline booking terminals and programs can be used with MATIP without needs of replacement
