PROFILE |
 |
Galileo International's computerized reservation systems (CRS) serves wanderlust-driven travelers -- and people on business trips. It operates the second-largest CRS for the travel industry (behind Sabre). Its Galileo and Apollo booking systems allow travel agents to book plane, hotel, and car rental reservations for their clients. Galileo has about 178,000 terminals in more than 100 countries. The firm has grown through acquisitions, including Apollo Travel Services, Swissair's Traviswiss system, and KLM's Galileo Nederland operations. Galileo, which has agreed to be acquired by Cendant Corporation, is consolidating its travel-related Internet businesses into subsidiary TRIP.com.
