Hi all,

I was wondering of any of you guys could help me with some research I am undertaking....

I am looking into Information Technology systems in the airline industry, their history and their effects etc. Does anybody know who were the first airlines (US or European) to start effectively introducing IT technologies into their businesses? For example which airline and when started using e-tickets or online check-in or even simply computerised reservations systems?

I realise this a VERY broad and open-ended question, but I'd be grateful for any input or help you could provide. I will happily provide anybody that helps with a drink at the upcoming big London DO!

Thanks in advance,
Lewis
