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
Famous quotes containing the words airline and/or traffic:
“My job as a reservationist was very routine, computerized ... I had no free will. I was just part of that stupid computer.”

“To treat a “big” subject in the intensely summarized fashion demanded by an evening’s traffic of the stage when the evening, freely clipped at each end, is reduced to two hours and a half, is a feat of which the difficulty looms large.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
