The acquisition of the tikAero application by the Emirates Group secures its future investment and on-going innovation.  The application was developed by people with real airline know-how and this is set to continue with the inclusion of the Emirates Group IT Staff.  The system is built on the latest .net Microsoft technologies.  This enables the creation of a highly intuitive user interface that reduces training and overall operating costs.  The system will be integrated with Mercator's industry leading applications Portfolio such as RAPID for revenue accounting, SkyChain for cargo and the frequent flier application CRIS.  The system enables flexible commercial deployment depending on the airline's business model.  It can be used by a low cost point-to-point airline that wishes to operate in a "ticketless environment" or a regional feeder carrier that joins IATA and elects for travel agency and global distribution system distribution. 

The system also allows a wide range of alternative ticket distribution options such as vouchers, ATM issuance and travel agency credit banks.  The system can be adapted to enable the creation of additional revenue streams such as seat assignments, excess baggage and other branding options of fares.  The system redefines value for money for a complete airline distribution and reservation system.
