2. Overview – Historical Development
The airline industry began using teletypewriter technology in the early 1920s using radio stations located at 10 airfields in the United States. The US Post Office and other US government agencies used these radio stations for transmitting telegraph messages.
It was during this period that the first federal teletypewriter system was introduced in the United States to allow weather and flight information to be exchanged between air traffic facilities. While the use of physical teletypes is almost extinct, the message formats and switching concepts remain similar.

3. Overview – Historical Development
In 1929, Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) was formed to manage radio frequencies and license allocation in the United States, as well as to support the radio stations that were used by the emerging airlines, a role ARINC still fulfils today.
ARINC is a private company originally owned by many of the world's airlines including; American Airlines, Continental Airlines, British Airways, Air France, and SAS although it is now owned by Rockwell Collins.

4. Overview – Historical Development
In 1949, the Société Internationale de Télécommunication Aeronautique (SITA) was formed as a cooperative by 11 airlines: Air France, KLM, Sabena, Swissair, TWA, British European Airways, British Overseas Airways Corporation, British South American Airways, Swedish A. B. Aerotransport, Danish Det Danske Luftfartselskab A/S, and Norwegian Det Norske Luftfartselskap.
Their aim was to enable airlines to be able to use the existing communications facilities in the most efficient manner.

5. Overview – Historical Development
Today, the airline industry continues to use teletypewriter messages over ARINC, SITA or AFTN networks as a medium for communicating via messages.
Most teletypewriter messages are machine- generated by automatic processes.
IATA standardised teletype message formats throughout the airline industry.

6. Overview – Historical Development
Recently there have been initiatives in the industry to tackle the high cost of the existing Type B network by deploying secured peer-to- peer solutions, e.g. EDIfly.
Developed by Innovative Software SARL in Luxemburg and used by companies like Cargolux, TAP, SATS etc.

7. Overview – Historical Development
Such solutions allow users to exchange unrestricted amounts of Type B data over the public internet, while maintaining all existing addressing schemes and message identification.
Web-based technology also enables the community to expand the usage and removes shortcomings in the existing Type B exchange (limited to characters).

8. Overview – Historical Development
The success of such initiatives will improve processing of operational data for all stakeholders in the industry
Provide expanded usage until newer technology like XML become the norm in most operational systems in system of all stakeholders in the aviation scene across all continents.
