GDS
Disruptive Distribution
no
Airline - Agency Disconnect
AIRLINES- Largely depend on
just THREE Global Distribution Systems
- High cost of distribution and declining margins
- Little control over client/traveler data
AGENCIES- Largely depend on
ONE GDS for inventory and income
- Decreasing revenue from fees and commissions
- Little control over inventory and traveler data
GDS Legacy Data Silos
- Closed / Proprietary data storage and exchange- 70% unstructured data- One-size-fits-all- Penalize booking of non-GDS inventory- Resistant / slow to
adapt new technology
Solution: Step 2
- Non- proprietary Web Service GDS integration
- 100% data control:- Traveler- Trip- Inventory, incl.
+ NDC, Wholesale, Contracts+ ANY non-GDS inventory
Expected NDC Adaptation
GDS share of airline
distribution will drop
to 7%
