“Almosafer Travel Agency is planning to develop a new system to connect passengers with airline companies. The system will allow passengers to search for a flight by specifying the date of travelling, city of departure, and city of arrival. The system then will provide the passenger with several flight options to select from. After selecting a flight, the passenger has to enter personal details such as full name and id number to proceed to payment. When the passenger completes the payment process, they will receive a confirmation and a ticket from the airline company. In addition to sending confirmation and a ticket to the passengers, airline companies should be able to add new flights to the system, and update or delete an existing flight. They also should be able to receive a daily list of all passenger names and details in each flight.”
