Seven new airlines choose Hahn Air to increase GDS sales

Ticketing and distribution specialist Hahn Air has signed contracts with seven new airlines this year. Air Century, Cambodia Airways, Divi Divi Air, Eastern Airlines, Eastern Airways, Emetebe Airlines and Thai Smile Airways joined the Hahn Air partner portfolio which includes more than 350 airlines. By using one or more of Hahn Air’s solutions, the seven new partners generate incremental revenue in additional markets.

“Hahn Air offers solutions for airlines of any business model”, commented Alexander Proschka, Executive Vice President Commercial. “For example, US carrier Eastern Airlines and Thai Smiles Airways from Thailand opted for our HR-169 product. They can sell their flights under their own two-letter-codes in the GDS while unlocking their non-BSP markets for indirect ticket sales. Our new X1-Air partners Emetebe Airlines, Eastern Airways, Air Century and Divi Divi Air outsourced their complete indirect distribution to Hahn Air Technologies. They can now sell their flights in Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport under the code X1. And finally, Dual Partner Cambodia Airways is combining the HR-169 and H1-Air products, thereby exploiting the full potential of primary and secondary markets.”

With its ticketing and distribution solutions, the German airline Hahn Air facilitates global business between travel agencies and airlines. Hahn Air holds contracts with all major GDSs and is a member of the IATA Clearing House, almost all IATA BSPs as well as the settlement systems ARC and TCH. With this extensive technology infrastructure, Hahn Air allows its partner airlines to sell tickets through more than 100,000 travel agencies across 190 markets. Alexander Proschka stated: “Our products are cost efficient, effective and quickly to implement and therefore particularly interesting for airlines looking to kick-start their business after the corona-induced restrictions.”
