Hitit integration on ReservationHub

Hitit is an airline technology company founded in 1994 and based in Istanbul, listed on Borsa Istanbul since 2022. Its Crane suite provides passenger service, departure control and agency distribution systems to 72 partners in 50 countries (June 2025).

About Hitit

Hitit does not sell flights itself. It supplies the systems airlines run on: the Crane PSS passenger service system for reservations, inventory and ticketing, Crane DCS for check-in and departure control, and Hitit Oxygen for offer and order management. Many of its customers are small and mid-sized carriers in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. PIA, for example, moved its reservations, ticketing and check-in from Sabre to Crane in September 2018.

For travel sellers, the relevant part is distribution. Crane ADS (also marketed as Hitit ADS) is an agency distribution system that combines GDS-style functions with NDC and offer and order standards, and Hitit says more than 30,000 agents use its sales and distribution platform. In June 2021 IATA certified Hitit's Crane Agent Portal Plus as an NDC Level 4 aggregator.

A connection to Hitit therefore gives access to airlines that host on Crane and have agreed to distribute through it, not to every airline. For airline NDC status, see NDC airlines; for GDS versus direct airline channels, see NDC vs GDS.

What you can sell

  • Fares and fare families filed in Crane by those airlines
  • Paid ancillaries such as seats and extra baggage, where the airline offers them

Hitit integration: FAQ

Does ReservationHub integrate with Hitit?
Yes. Hitit is pre-integrated in ReservationHub and listed on the partners page. Flights from Crane-hosted airlines you are authorised to sell appear in the same search as your GDS, NDC and low-cost content.
Do I need my own agreement to use Hitit?
Yes. Access to a Crane-hosted airline normally comes through that airline's agency agreement and the credentials it or Hitit issues to you. You plug those credentials into ReservationHub. ReservationHub does not supply airline agreements or Hitit access.
What can I sell through Hitit?
Flights, fares and ancillaries of the airlines that run Hitit's Crane passenger service system and distribute through it, under each airline's own rules. Coverage depends on which Crane airlines have authorised your agency, not on Hitit alone.
What is Hitit Crane?
Crane is Hitit's suite of airline systems. Crane PSS handles reservations, inventory and ticketing, Crane DCS handles check-in and departure control, and Crane ADS is its agency distribution system. Hitit reported 72 partners in 50 countries in June 2025.
