The Airline Retailing Atlas: Volume II — Economics, Governance & Reference (Blue Edition)

The Airline Retailing Atlas is a structural reference for order-native airline retailing. It does not advise, recommend, or compare vendors. It defines what airline retailing is under the Offer-Order-Identity paradigm. Volume II extends the foundational ontology established in Volume I into the operational, financial, and governance layers across four parts and 55 fascicles: Part V Servicing & Post-Sale Refund and exchange automation, disruption handling, voluntary and involuntary changes, order tracking, post-booking ancillary sales, call center integration, trip recovery, irregular operations workflows, and servicing maturity. Part VI Payment & Settlement Payment architecture and orchestration, fraud scoring, 3DS/SCA/PSD2, tokenization, BNPL and wallet models, corporate and virtual cards, settlement and clearing, ARC/BSP impacts, payment reconciliation, multi-currency pricing, and chargeback prevention. Part VII Infrastructure & Systems PSS deconstruction, OMS architecture, NDC schema versions, API performance engineering, smart routing, scalability, cloud retail infrastructure, event-driven retail, logging and observability, system migration, identity graph systems, legacy compatibility, and resilience engineering. Part VIII Strategy & Governance Data governance, offer graphs and vector stores, federated retail systems, competition over retail graphs, identity-driven retailing, and trust and transparency. Includes the Canonical Terminology Index, Selected References, and Colophon. Each fascicle is self-contained. There is no required reading order. The reader begins with whatever structural question they carry and follows conceptual threads as they emerge.
