AirAsia has decided that selling tickets exclusively through its own online system, rather than through a global distribution system (GDS) may not be enough for future growth. Asia’s largest no-frills carrier group has now embraced the booking system of Amadeus which will enable them to reach new customers via travel agencies. The ground-breaking partnership means the 102,200 Amadeus-subscribing travel agencies, can now book flights on the AirAsia group – including sister airlines, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia and long-haul affiliate AirAsia X – just as they would for a legacy carrier.AirAsia is the first low-cost carrier in the Asia-Pacific to get Amadeus’s “ticketless access solution” (TAS).
