Hahn Air, the German airline and distribution
specialist, added seven new carriers to its leading network of more than 350 airlines in the third quarter of 2019. The new partners are expanding their distribution reach with Hahn Air’s
product HR-169. Travel agents can issue their flights on the insolvency-safe Hahn Air HR-169 ticket, even in markets where the airlines are not
participating in the local payment system (e.g. BSP or ARC).
Among the new HR-169 partners is Air Chathams (3C), New Zealand’s largest privately-owned airline. They service
eight domestic destinations and just recently
introduced their first
scheduled international passenger flight from Auckland to Norfolk
Island. "As a small regional airline, we are facing great challenges when it comes to getting
visibility outside of the communities where we provide air services”, says Duane Emeny, Airline & Charter
General Manager of Air Chathams. “Hahn Air's HR-169 product
puts our flight inventory on the global market. We have joined the Hahn Air network
only a few months ago, but we are already very happy with the additional revenue they have
generated for us."
Another new HR-169 partner is
Jeju Air (7C) from South Korea. The low-cost carrier flies to 73 destinations in 15 Asian countries, including China,
Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia and Thailand. “We have already been a
partner of Hahn Air Systems since 2017 using the product H1-Air. Thanks to the good reputation and global reach of Hahn Air, we were able to
immediately increase our international sales”, says Jeesuk Kee,
Deputy General Manager in the Commercial Department at Jeju Air. “We therefore decided to
expand our partnership by adding the product HR-169 and we expect that this
will increase our sales even further”. As a Dual Partner of
Hahn Air, Jeju Air is available in selected GDSs under its own code 7C and in
all major GDSs under the Hahn Air Systems designator H1.
Five more new HR-169 partners
added in Q3 are Air Peace (P4) from Nigeria, Amaszonas Uruguay (Z7), MAYAir / Aerocuahonte (5G) from Mexico, as well as two regional US carriers, RavnAir
Alaska (7H) and Southern Airways Express (9X).
