Mapping of Airline Traffic Over Internet Protocol

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.
    Beryl Simpson, U.S. employment counselor; former airline reservationist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    There’s something about the dead silence of an office building at night. Not quite real. The traffic down below is something that didn’t have anything to do with me.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)
