American Airlines is the world’s largest carrier, serving more than 250 cities in 41 countries with 1,100 airplanes and approximately 4,400 daily flights. The airline processes approximately 125 million transportation documents on an annual basis.

For any airline, identifying fraudulent transactions, which are usually unintentional but quite common, is the key to ensuring that earned-revenue is properly received. This includes improperly issued tickets as well as tickets that do not follow basic ticket rules established by the airline. Additionally, all airlines must address “revenue leakage”. This occurs when an airline does not receive rightfully earned money for a consumer’s round-trip ticket that utilized two or more airlines. All of these issues require current, accessible, and accurate data flow.
