The Galileo Central Reservations System is one of the main computer reservation systems designed for the travel industry by a consortium of airlines. It is currently owned by Cendant.
Galileo is known as a multi-access system; so named as it is able to access the reservation systems of a large number of airlines and tour operators, rather than a dedicated system tied to only one supplier.
Almost all airlines in the world are accessible through Galileo or similar systems. The main exceptions are some of the smaller, less technological airlines in Africa and the former communist bloc, or airlines set up specifically for internet sales only. They can, however, be shown on an itinerary in Galileo by using a dummy segment to allow a complete itinerary to be printed for the passenger.
The system is not confined solely to ticket sales. Depending on the restrictions of the airfare and the airlines policies, requests can be made for specific seats, special meals, and other requests.
Gallileo reservations can be looked up under http://www.viewtrip.com .
Galileo is a member of SITA, and has the alpha-numeric code of 1G.
