LodgeX Airline Solutions has been selected by Atlanta-based carrier Atlantic Southeast Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of SkyWest, Inc., to provide a new lodging services management suite designed to streamline the airline's crew lodging program.

A product of LJK Companies, LodgeX Airline Solutions' lodging services management suite is tailored to the airline industry and to ASA's crew management needs. The program will work by linking the airline's flight schedule and business processes with LodgeX Airline Solutions' travel management suite to accurately forecast lodging needs, reserve hotels, consolidate and audit billing and make reservation adjustments due to schedule interruptions. The system has been proven with other airline clients to reduce lodging expenses and require fewer internal resources to manage and track lodging needs and expenses.

"LodgeX Airline Solutions has been providing crew lodging and other travel-related services for 20 years now," said Rob Miller, Vice President - Sales & Marketing of LodgeX Airline Solutions. "Airlines are finding that it makes good business sense to leverage the enhancements we've made to our systems specifically to serve airline customers. Combining superior customer service with ever-increasing levels of automation enables LodgeX Airline Solutions to provide clients with a robust lodging and transportation solution."

According to ASA's Vice President of Flight Operations, Charlie Tutt, "Partnering with LodgeX Airline Solutions just makes good business sense for ASA. They have a proven track record of successfully managing crew lodging programs that are tailor-made to fit airlines' unique scheduling challenges while remaining cost effective."
