Teamavia.com is an online reservation system that Finite Software Systems built for searching and booking airline tickets, with a search engine designed specifically for charter flights. According to FSS's own project case page, the system combines flights from multiple airlines — both charter and regular — and presents them through a purpose-built reservations interface, letting customers find offers in a few clicks and complete a guaranteed reservation with secure payment.
Beyond the public booking front-end, the delivery included a back-office platform serving business-intelligence reports and administration, plus a comprehensive member area. A central engineering challenge, per the case write-up, was aggregating ticket and price data that the customer held only in part: many destinations relied on the customer's partner companies, so FSS integrated third-party reservation systems and partner suppliers through automated XML interfaces, broadening the destination catalogue under one platform. The project also involved coordinating international teams and absorbing repeated scope changes as market conditions shifted.
Technically the application runs on the FSS-standard PHP-on-Apache web stack, backed by an IBM DB2 database. FSS internal infrastructure records show Teamavia provisioned with a dedicated Apache/PHP application web server and a DB2 database tier (DB2 Express C for development, DB2 AESE in production) on the company's Evrotur hosting, dual-homed to the public live-hosting block, with a separate test.teamavia.com staging environment. No separate source repository for Teamavia is exposed in the FSS git estate, so exact framework/library versions could not be confirmed from a dependency manifest.
