Hahn Air’s Head of Corporate Strategy, Governance and Industry Affairs,
Jörg Troester recently participated at the second European Aviation Symposium
(EAS). The event which took place between 28th and 29th January,
2020 in Munich featured leading experts, politicians and executives from the
airline industry. The second EAS focused on finding
solutions with a new, holistic and industry-wide perspective and in balance of
political objectives to ensure sustainable economic growth.
Troester was invited to join the
NDC/OneOrder round table discussion during the first day’s afternoon breakout
session with the title “Disruptive Developments in Airline Distribution”. He expressed his views about who will be the
winners with the NDC/OneOrder development and about the future vision of
airline distribution - after NDC/OneOrder.
“NDC and now OneOrder have been the long-needed
technology trigger to finally help the airline (distribution) industry to start
a complete makeover. Technology is an important part of this journey, but it is
not the only one. Winning airlines will take the opportunity to think about
their distribution strategy and develop products - including ancillaries -,
distribution channel mix and a revenue model and make them relevant in markets
and for their customers. Travel retailers will have a great opportunity to
remain or become again a relevant point of sales for their customers if they
offer airlines’ a full menu of products and services and at the same time
understand the needs of the travellers before, during and after purchase by
embracing new technology opportunities.” said Troester.
Talking about a technology vision,
Troester added “Hahn Air has issued its first ticket based on blockchain
technology in 2019. We know that open, decentralised networks are a true future
vision for airline distribution, but we are proud to have proven that it is
possible and we will continue looking into future technologies to develop
distribution solutions that will connect airlines and travel agencies.”
