A Java Swing application for managing flight seat reservations.
National University Airlines is a lightweight desktop tool written in Java that allows airline schedulers to view flights, manage seat availability, and record passenger information — all stored locally in a flat file (database.txt).
Unlike commercial scheduling systems, this app is free, offline, and does not rely on cloud databases.
