TRANSCRIPT
Director’s WordThe Global AirRail Alliance, or GARA for short, was created to provide a platform for profession-als from around the world to share their best practice in developing rail links to airports, inno-vating in airline-railways partnerships, or improving customer service for seamless and painless transition from one transport mode to another. GARA is a community of rail operators, airlines, airports, suppliers, associations, city councils and researchers that work together in creating simpler, faster and more cooperative future.
Our goal at GARA is to provide all the necessary tools for our members to better understand this growing market and form successful air-rail partnerships around the world. At the moment we are building a comprehensive online database and community sharing platform where our members will be able to access various statistical data about the market, contribute to academic research and connect with other air-rail professionals.
This brochure is the first glimpse at what we are developing and will introduce to you the cur-rently operating dedicated airport expresses around the world.
I would like to invite you to join GARA and help us build a stronger air-rail family.

Arlanda Express
A rail link between Stockholm Central Station and Arlanda Airport was an old idea. During 1990s, it had become increasingly evident that the number of air travellers would be dramatically rising. Ad-ditionally there were increasingly stringent demands for lessening traffic on the roads to the airport by building a
rail link. These demands were due to an emissions ceiling regulating the amount of environmentally harmful pollut-ants that could be released into the athmosphere. To build a third runway at the airport and still comply with the demands, a new alternative was necessary for travel-ling to and from the airport.

speed-alliance®, created by Hahn Air Systems, is a solution covering all tasks and processes of indirect distribution from publishing schedules in GDS to eticketing and revenue settlement. Moreover, travel agents are enabled to combine train routes with flights, providing seamless intermodal sales. As a sister company and customer of Hahn Air, Hahn Air Systems has access to all HR interline e-ticketing partners, enabling railway companies to partner with more than 260 airlines. As part of the global expansion, intermodal solution can be upgraded to interlining, providing seamless travel.
Today railway companies face two major distribution challenges: Selling truly globally and collaborating with airlines easily. Online sales may help in reaching more distant markets, however, global distribution and joint sales with airlines require disproportionate efforts to adjust existing railway reservation systems, which were designed for core sales in local markets.
speed-alliance® is a unique distribution solution for railways to go global overnight. It simply connects the existing distribution infra-structure via the IATA designator 5W and makes routes available to 91,000 travel agents, using major Global Distribution Systems (GDS) in 190 markets – just like an airline. With speed-alliance® and through the GDS, railway companies get access to travel agencies worldwide, including those of the local market. While supply creates demand, the portion of corporate travellers and foreign customers being less price sensitive, will increase.
speed-alliance® adapts to the distribution environment of the railway company and links it to the global distribution world, following its standard processes: GDS display – route availabilities are displayed under 5W code
equal to airlines in the GDS Booking – travel agent is enabled to make a reservation of the
route like of an airline e-ticketing – 5W train routes will be issued exclusively on HR-169
ticket stock Boarding Pass – Hahn Air Systems‘ DCS creates a railway PDF
document including barcode functionality The PDF Boarding Pass is given at disposal to the user
(e-mail, website, local vending machine)

distant travel agents Intermodal connections with more than 260 airline partners is
