IBS eyes Indian aviation industry for growth

Chennai/Bangalore: Thiruvananthapuram-based IBS Software, a privately-held company, which specialises in IT solutions to the travel, transportation and logistics industry, is eyeing the booming Indian aviation sector for growth.
The company recently bagged its first client in the Indian market. Jet Airways has signed a seven-year contract to implement IBS' crew management system - AvientCrew - to support the airlines' crew management needs.
"The solution helps airlines in scaling up their business to remain competitive in a rapidly-evolving market. We are confident this will be a prelude to other airlines in India following suit. We are in discussions with all leading airlines of the country," IBS Chairman & CEO V K Mathews said on Wednesday.
IBS caters to over 100 customers worldwide, including airlines, international airports, cruise lines, oil and gas companies.
"All these years, Indian airlines and airports did not attach much importance to IT operations. Now they have begun investing on IT operations. We see opportunities for growth. We intend to provide software solutions to at least 40 airports in the country," he added.
