Do you think there are traces of this booking app ? even the name ?

  It could be the flight booking system described in Sictus Prolog's old homepage: SICStus Prolog is a workhorse in the transport and logistics industries, running systems that handle a third of all airline tickets, and helping railways to operate their trains better. “Most people probably have used SICStus Prolog without knowing it,” says Mats Carlsson, its lead developer. “One of our customers runs a flight booking system on SICStus which handles nearly a third of all airline tickets in the world.” https://web.archive.org/web/20190203010151/https://www.sics.se/projects/sicstus-prolog-leading-prolog-technology https://web.archive.org/web/20190203010151/https://www.sics.... The new homepage doesn't say anything about flight bookings and I can't find anything about it in the "Customers" page either: https://sicstus.sics.se/customers.html https://sicstus.sics.se/customers.html I have a sneaking suspicion that might mean the customer replaced Prolog with something else, possibly some kind of machine learning :P

    Who knows, in any case I'd really really love to see how these Prolog teams operate(d). Really curious how they approach modeling and problem solving.

  Another guess seperate from the sibling could be the Danish company PDC, they are also the developers of Turbo Pascal, and continue to develop it under its new name Visual Pascal. https://www.visual-prolog.com/ https://www.visual-prolog.com/ https://www.pdc.com/ https://www.pdc.com/ (edit: they were also the developers of turbo pascal but rebranded it)
