Even in this Internet-dominant era, it is estimated that 50% of airline bookings are still done by travel agents using GDS terminals. Though there are direct connect possibilities and other distribution channels, GDS as a channel seems indispensable for the next few years. Airlines will be able to reap significant benefits through this channel if they are able to plug revenue leakage opportunities. The GDS channel also provides rich data like BIDT – Booking Information Data Tapes and MIDT – Marketing Information Data Tapes to airlines which helps take business decisions.
