In the airline industry, direct booking vs third-party distribution has always been an either/or choice. The point where an intermediary’s relationship with the traveller ends and an airline’s begins is no longer as clear as it once was.

The post-Covid-19 aftertaste of booking using random online players and meta engines has left a bitter aftertaste. Many travellers were left high and dry when it came to support and refunds. Mostly having booked on sites where there was no prior relationship simply being pushed from meta's and the price being the only reason of conversion. Come today those same travellers prefer to go back to the traditional route and book via human engagement via the trade where relationships are built in person and in confidence. This has seen a boom in agencies now seeing a massive uplift in traditional office visits then just booking online.

The Travesys Platform provides all the benefits of direct sell, ancillary up-sell and branding control, coupled with access to a growing and engaged audience of travellers across new platforms and via traditional booking channels.

Quite simply, we believe that supporting these traditional agencies with tools and products is the future for airlines to be able to reach those audiences via the very important travel industry partner network.
