Business Requirements

We will need to send Descartes FWB and FHL messages which will contain all of the required information as noted below.

It will only need to be done for airlines that we book directly with and are destined to or trans-shipping through an EU location.

The operators should be able to tell the system to transmit and the information should be sent instantly.
