Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM)
Follow the industry standard

This Manual is designed to help originators and recipients of schedule information in terms of electronic data processing and conventional manual message procedures. Its use is encouraged for all IATA Member Airlines and their business partners as the standard for the exchange of scheduling information. To achieve standardisation in technique, format and construction, this manual includes all relevant IATA standards and recommended common practices, including those of the ATA/IATA Reservations Interline Message Procedures - Passenger (AIRIMP).
