Revenue Technology Services (RTS) announced that Air Canada, the largest airline of Canada by fleet size, passengers and cargo carried, has gone live with the RTS Foresight solution in the cargo division.
Air Canada Cargo has completed the implementation of the revenue planning and sales budgeting solution, Foresight.
