  Airline and travel data processing

  The project

  Development, deployment, upgrade and support of a generic Messaging Gateway application for a large international aerospace and defence company.

  The scope

  Governments are required to manage and secure their borders through the use of traveller intelligence. This is achieved by collecting passenger information from airlines operating flights to and from their country. Collecting traveller information is a complex process, because governments need to deal with a large number of airlines and border security agencies are required to comply with international data protection laws. The aim is to simplify the collection of traveller data for border management, profiling and threat analysis. The solution Corballis implemented for its client greatly simplifies the process of data collection, allowing border security agencies to concentrate their efforts on the actual data and threat analysis.

  Our implementation

  Our solution supports the collection of critical Advance Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) data within a flexible platform designed to accommodate varying government and border management requirements. It seamlessly integrates into the border management and border control systems.

  The Messaging Gateway’s capabilities include:

  • efficient collection of all common types of data formats used for traveller data
  • flexible architecture that makes adding new types of data formats straightforward
  • native handling for XML structured traveller messages
  • powerful tools for accelerated and seamless integration
  • broad range of supported transport mechanisms (MQ, email, FTP, SFTP, web services, etc.)
  • configurable publishing mechanism that can be used to expose traveller data as a service
  • customisable distribution and cleansing of traveller data to multiple systems
  • automated archiving and cleaning simplifies database administration
  • familiar e-mail look and feel, enabling support staff to visualize, inspect and examine data for diagnostic purposes
