Abstract

This research paper presents a comprehensive study on the implementation of an airline ticket booking system using object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques. The study explores the design, development, and deployment of a robust and scalable system that efficiently manages airline reservations, ticket bookings, and related operations. By leveraging OOP principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, the proposed system offers a modular and extensible architecture that can adapt to the dynamic requirements of the airline industry. The paper discusses the system's core components, including user interface, database management, and business logic layers, while highlighting the advantages of OOP in handling complex data structures and operations. Furthermore, it examines the integration of modern software development practices, such as design patterns and SOLID principles, to enhance the system's maintainability and performance. Through a series of experiments and case studies, the research demonstrates the effectiveness of the implemented system in handling various scenarios, from simple bookings to complex multi-leg itineraries. The findings of this study contribute to the body of knowledge in software engineering and provide valuable insights for practitioners in the field of airline information systems.
