Galileo traces back to 1971 when United Airlines created its first computer reservation system, named Apollo. During the late 1980's and early 1990's a large quantity of airline tickets were sold through travel agents. Flights by the airline who owned the reservation system were the first ones that travel agents and customers would see. Due to the success and high market demands of both Sabre and Apollo systems, Worldspan and Galileo were created.
Galileo was formed in 1987 by nine European carriers, these were:
- British Airways
- KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
- Alitalia
- Swissair
- Austrian Airline
- Olympic
- Sabena
- Air Portugal
- Aer Lingus.
