BEIJING HP today announced that TravelSky Technology Ltd, China's leading provider of aviation technology, has selected HP Enterprise Services to support its development of a next-generation Passenger Services System (PSS) called New Compass.

Headquartered in Beijing, TravelSky serves customers that include 30 domestic airlines, 200 overseas airlines, 147 domestic airports and 7,000 ticket agents. It provides services to 300 cities in China and 80 other cities worldwide. With such a broad customer base and increasingly sophisticated expectations, TravelSky needed a new PSS that would give it the flexibility to deliver innovative and differentiated services.
