Distribution specialist Hahn Air already
added 12 new partner airlines to its network in the first half of 2023. All
partners benefit from broadened distribution reach and incremental revenue by
extending availability of their flights in the Global Distribution Systems
(GDSs).
Five airlines are taking
advantage of an interline agreement with Hahn Air (HR-169). The partners gain
access to travel agencies in additional markets. This includes GDS markets
where they do not participate in local settlement systems (BSPs or ARC), where
they do not grant ticketing authority or where they want to offer additional
forms of payment. In addition, they benefit from interlining opportunities with
the Hahn Air network consisting of more than 350 partner airlines.
Out of the new partners, seven
carriers opted for the solution X1-Air. The partner carriers gain access to all
major GDSs with one single contract. A separate agreement between the airline
and the respective GDS is not needed. As a result, X1-Air partners can
instantly sell their flights through more than 100,000 travel agencies in 190
markets. The X1-Air product is benefitting airlines that wish to extend
distribution reach to secondary markets, as well as carriers that are seeking
to get started with comprehensive indirect distribution.

“We are proud to support our
partner airlines by expanding their distribution reach”, says Adriana C.
Carrelli, Vice President Airline Business at Hahn Air. “By partnering with Hahn
Air, airlines open new markets beyond their distribution capabilities
and generate additional revenue. At the same time, they save costs and resources while outsourcing risk
and complexity.”
