and Developments in 2023
12 new Partners have signed up in 2023. Among them is AJet (Anadolujet) as they evolve from being a sub-brand of Turkish Airlines into a standalone airline.

AI-related R&D has been one of Hitit's focus areas following the IPO. The latest developments saw an AI model being trained on the real-world data of a Partner airline for "dynamic pricing" and having 95% success rate. Further work on developing different AI models is currently underway.
With ADS being a priority, its user-facing Crane APP platform has been improved with new capabilities. Additionally, new content and distribution agreements have been signed with multiple airlines to enrich the travel content offering.
With OOMS being another high-priority project, new capabilities in line with IATA and ATPCO standards have been developed and deployed to several Partner airlines. Work has been progressing on the CDB platform in parallel to improve overall capabilities on personalized offers and services.
