What stages should the development of a Mobile application for an airline consist of?

Question

Mobile development

Greetings!
Faced such a problem, it is necessary to develop a mobile application for the airline, but there is no idea how to organize it. Through the application, the user should be able to search, book, buy a ticket, check in for a flight, view the online scoreboard.
How should the synchronization of the booking system and payment be organized? Does anyone have experience in developing similar applications?

Answer 1

Faced such a problem, it is necessary to develop a mobile application for the airline, but there is no idea how to organize it.

Decide CLEARLY: what exactly you need:
1. Get rid of the problem
2. Develop a mobile application
3. Organize
PS: I will help you on all counts if you are an employee of this airline.

Answer 2

I made a similar application:
1. Find out through which system the airline is currently buzzing its tickets. (there is a normal probability that this is Sirena GRS)
2. Find out if the airline has a website. Most likely there is. Is there a ready-made API (maybe not for all functions). Most probably not.
3. Read the documentation on the website of the system used, if it is a Sirena, then here: sirena-travel.ru
though they have technical documentation only for clients like, so if you want API details, then find out the password from the airline (for the siren, the docks are here: private.sirena -travel.ru/clients/manuals/xml-grs )
4. Look for developer(s)
Bonus :) :
1. In terms of laying down the fact that all these booking systems, especially "ours", are very stupid. I somehow waited for a test server (not to buy real tickets for the test) for several months.
Therefore, the development itself will take you, say, 3-4 months, but you can throw so much more on the "waiting" as risks.
2. Of course, I hope you will find professionals, but you never know, it is important that the application itself does not pull the system directly, but only through your proxy service.
3. Here is a picture that I once drew, it may make it easier to understand:
