Hahn Air announces the addition
of 15 new partners in the first half of 2021. The airlines trust the leading ticketing
and distribution specialist to expand their indirect sales to secondary markets
and increase their ticket sales with up to 100,000 travel agencies in more than
190 markets. They also benefit from being part of the largest network of
interline partners in the world.
“While the current
situation undoubtedly presented many challenges to the airlines of the world,
it is also a unique opportunity to reevaluate and reset their distribution
strategy,” says Alexander Proschka, Executive
Vice President Commercial at Hahn Air. “The next months and
the upcoming year will be crucial and those players who position themselves
prominently will be the winners of the recovery phase. We support airlines with
solutions to enter or expand their indirect distribution with the major GDSs and
optimise their global ticket sales.”
Of the new partnerships, eight
are new interline agreements. The flights of Starlux Airlines (JX) from Taiwan,
Nordica (ND) from Estonia, Calm Air (MO) and PAL Airlines (PB) from Canada,
Uganda National Airlines (UR), Viva Peru (VV) and Viva Colombia (VH) can now be
issued on the insolvency-safe HR-169 ticket. In addition, Hahn Air added the
Dutch mobility platform Vipper (VG) to its network. Travel agents can find and
book all new partners under their own two-letter codes in selected GDSs and
even in markets where the carriers are not members of the local settlement
systems (BSPs).
In addition, three carriers chose
the product X1-Air of Hahn Air Technologies and are therefore available under
the X1 code in major GDSs: Flyadeal (F3) from Saudi Arabia, LIFT (GE) from
South Africa and Sky High Aviation (DO) from the Dominican Republic.
Finally, Hahn Air welcomes four
dual partners who are using more than one Hahn Air solution. Existing partner,
Precision Air (PW) from Tanzania, newly complemented their distribution
strategy with the H1-Air solution and is now also available under the Hahn Air
Systems designator H1 in all major GDSs. Línea Aérea Amaszonas (Z8) from
Bolivia and Air Seychelles (HM) are newly combining their existing interline
agreements with the product X1-Air. And finally, new partner Air Leap (FL) from
Sweden signed with Hahn Air for HR-169 and X1-Air and can now be ticketed in
Amadeus under its own FL code and in major GDSs under Hahn Air Technologies’ X1
code.
