SaaSSubscription · One fee per boarded passenger covers all modules and releases; no per-module licenses or surprise invoices. Pricing details are presented as per boarded passenger with a single all-inclusive rate.

Farel offers an airline operating system that unifies passenger service system components (PSS, RMS, DCS, IBE) with an integrated AI assistant. It markets itself as a single platform for inventory, reservations, departure control, distribution, payments, and finance, plus regulatory and API-first integration, aimed at increasing direct sales and automating operations.

Farel provides a single, integrated platform that combines inventory, reservations, departure control, distribution, payments, finance, and reporting. It includes an AI Copilot for airline ops and an API-first framework with native apps, multi-currency payment support, and regulatory transmissions. The system connects with airports, PSPs, regulators, and provides out-of-the-box integrations (airport check-in, ground handling, CUTE/CUPPS, PNRGOV/APIS, etc.), enabling one-rate pricing per boarded passenger and a migration/implementation plan designed for fast go-live with migration playbooks and zero-downtime cutover options.

Who it’s for: Airlines seeking full platform control over operations and distribution, with focus on direct-to-consumer sales and integration-heavy environments (airports, regulators, PSPs).
