DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED ON-LINE FLIGHT RESERVATION SYSTEM

Flight is the process by which an object moves either through the air, or movement beyond earth's atmosphere (as in the case of spaceflight), by generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy, or by simple ballistic movement. This project was out of the necessity to address the inherent problems encountered by members of staff of Enugu Airport transporting Agency and their customers. The manual processes involved in the reservation of flight were critical examined and the flows noted. The software so designed offers to a great extent, the solutions to these problems. The project went further to ret the different techniques used in implementing the newly design software in order to facilitate a broader understanding of the design software by any user. The air transport industry today handles many types of flight, from computers to live animals. Airplanes do not carry heavy bulk commodities such as coal, iron ore, grain, and oil, so air carriers handle only a tiny percentage of the total weight of worldwide aircraft. However, they carry a major share of high-value aircraft Aircrafts usually pay more to aircraft by air than to aircraft by truck, rail, or sea. Savings in areas such as inventory costs, damage, and theft often offset the higher air flight costs. Most air aircraft today moves in sealed metal containers that cut down on theft and damage and help make loading and unloading on aircraft faster and easier. Transporting by air over long distances is also much faster than long-distance transporting by other modes of transportation, and thus the only choice for aircraft such as express mail, live seafood, and cut flowers.
