INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to describe the recommended usage of the Schedules Information Standards Committee (SISC)
EDIFACT Message Standards.
This document contains the latest versions of all the EDIFACT message standards agreed by the Schedules Information Standards
Committee (SISC). These messages are intended to facilitate the exchange of data relevant to airline schedules processing. This
document was developed, and will be maintained, by the Schedules Information Standards Committee (SISC) and the IATA
Secretariat.
DOCUMENT STRUCTURE
MESSAGE FUNCTION
A definition to describe the function of the message.
RULES FOR MESSAGE CONSTRUCTION
Provides a high level view of the type of data that is transmitted at the various segment levels.
MESSAGE BRANCHING DIAGRAM
A graphical representation of the hierarchy of a message. Each diagram indicates the status of segments and segment groupings
together with the maximum number of occurrences for each segment and segment grouping.
EDIFACT SEGMENTS
Service segments (UIH/UIT) have been extracted from the EDIFACT Application Level Syntax Rules as documented in ISO 9735
Version 4 for use within the IATA Interactive EDIFACT standard environment.
The EDIFACT segments section is presented on a segment-by-segment basis. The status for inclusion of the data elements is
indicated by one of the following values: M (mandatory); C (conditional); or * (not used).
MESSAGE EXAMPLES
Each message contains examples of the message constructed using the IATA SISC EDIFACT message specifications and EDIFACT
syntax.

PER, EQS and RTG are shown as conditional data segments, but their use is mandatory in all cases except when Action Codes ES,
QS, QA or QD are being used in data element 1229 of the ACT segment.
Action Codes QS, QA and QD may only be used when Message Functions SIR, SIE, WIR or WIE are being used in data element
1225 within composite data element E972 of the MSD segment. SIR/WIR and SIE/WIE differ in so far as SIR/WIR apply to requests
by a Carrier for data pertaining to its own clearances, or schedule data, held by a Coordinator or Agent, and SIE/WIE apply to requests
pertaining to schedule data held for other Carriers.

CHAPTER 4 — SCHEDULE UPDATE (SKDUPD) MESSAGE

Purpose:
To transmit new schedule information for the Carrier specified in the ORG Segment of the Message. Each Message will
include all Mandatory Data Elements, and may include one or more Conditional Data Elements.
Each Message (UIH-UIT) contains schedule data for one, and only one, Carrier. Data for multiple Carriers may be
transmitted within one Interchange (UIB-UIZ) by multiple use of Messages (UIH-UIT).
Unless bilaterally agreed, when the MSD Segment of the Message states that complete new schedule information for the
Carrier specified in Data Element E973 (Airline Designator)in the ORG Segment of the Message is being transmitted, each
SKDUPD Message represents the complete replacement of the schedule data for the Carrier specified in Data Element E973
(Airline Designator) in the ORG Segment of the Message, for the Period of Schedule Validity specified in the HDR Segment.
Unless bilaterally agreed, when the MSD Segment of the Message states that partial schedule updates or cancellations are
being transmitted, each SKDUPD Message represents new, complete replacement or cancellation of the schedule data for the
Flight Designator(s), Period(s) of Operation, Day(s) of Operation and Frequency Rate stated in the TRA and PER Segments
of the Message. Data Element 1245 in the PER Segment of the Message is used to specify whether each change is the
addition of a new flight, cancellation of an existing flight or change to the details of an existing flight. When the partial
updates are specified as ad hoc in the MSD Segment of the Message, the Period of Operation specified in the PER Segment
of the Message may only cover one day, for example 02JUN00 to 02JUN00.
Unless bilaterally agreed, when the MSD Segment of the Message states that complete new schedule information for a flight
number range is being transmitted, each SKDUPD Message represents the complete replacement of the schedule data for all
flight numbers in the range specified in the HDR Segment of the Message for the Period of Schedule Validity specified in the
HDR Segment.
It is the responsibility of the sender to ensure that the information in a Message is complete and unambiguous.

Equipment, Product, Commercial agreements, Additional service and Traffic Restriction information can appear at any one of three
levels. Except where overridden by information provided at a lower level, where they appear in the TRA (transport identifier) group,
they apply to the whole flight; where they appear in the PER (date/time/period/frequency) groups, they apply to the period/frequency
stated; where they appear in the ODI (origin and destination) group, they apply to the journey leg or segment stated. They may appear
in more than one group, in which case the higher level group may be viewed as a default which is added to, or replaced by the lower
level groups. For example, if EQP states that the Aircraft Type is 747 in the TRA group and 767 for the leg stated in the ODI group,
this means that the Aircraft Type is, for the period stated in the PER, 747 except for the leg stated in the ODI group, where it is 767.
EQP and PDT are shown as conditional data segments, but must occur at least once, in such a way that all legs of the flight are
covered.
With the exception of IFT (in cases where composite element E971 is not used), information at a lower level will replace any
information for the same segment appearing at a higher level. For example, data appearing in CAR (Commercial Agreements) at level
4 replaces, for the journey segment stated in the ODI at Level 3, any information contained in CAR at levels 2 or 3. Similarly, data
appearing in CAR at level 3 replaces, for the period stated in the PER, any information contained in CAR at Level 2.

It is recommended that, when complete new schedule information for multiple companies is being transmitted by multiple use of
Messages (UIH-UIT) within an Interchange (UIB-UIZ), the Messages be ordered according to the alphanumeric sequence of the
company identification code or name. For each company, the data segments should be ordered by Flight Designator.

The Selection Details Segments (SDT) start the, in normal cases, 2 data blocks of a TRAUPD message, containing schedule
and current data. Under certain circumstances it may be useful to transmit historical data, e.g. the planned routing in case of
a rerouting or diversion, an additional SDT block might be used.
The first block contains only schedule data, more or less in the same format as in a SKDUPD message, the second block
contains current transport service related data. Obviously, it is possible to transmit schedule data using a SKDUPD message,
but when operational data are transmitted it may be useful to forward schedule and current data in one message.
In the schedule block only the Segments defined in SKDUPD may be used, i.e. PRT, OPS, EQP, PDT, CAR, SER, TRF and
IFT. Unlike in SKDUPD the EQP, PDT, CAR, SER, TRF and IFT Segments may only appear at the lowest level, i.e. under
an ODI, not under TRA or PER. If they apply to the entire journey, they should be stated under an empty ODI Segment.

In the current data block PRT, OPS, EQP, CAR and TRF must not be used. PDT, SER and IFT may be used, but data fields
defined in SKDUPD may not be used. In PDT only information not altering the type of means of transport (ACV) is
allowed, e.g. movable class dividers or convertible seats. SER is the Segment to state current service information, e.g. gates,
positions or the current movie.

PRT (terminal/time) information shall be ordered according to the occurrence of the location within the complete itinerary.
For example, if the complete itinerary is AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD, then the PRT information should be stated for AAA first,
followed by BBB, then CCC and lastly DDD.
ODI (origin and destination) information shall be ordered in a way that information applicable to the complete service
appears first, then information applicable to departure and arrival locations in their appropriate order. Finally information
applicable to segments or legs shall be ordered according to the occurrence of the place of departure location within the
complete itinerary. When multiple use of ODI occurs with the same place of departure location, they should appear together
and be ordered according to the occurrence of the place of arrival location within the complete itinerary. A specific ODI
must not be used more than once.
