Once again, our Travel In Motion and Oystin team collected a lot of news tidbits from the world of #airlinedistribution. Never a dull moment... For us, helping airlines with their distribution and offer/order transformation strategies, it is essential that we stay at the forefront of our industry, allowing us to analyse what works, and what didn't. #airlines #iatandc #distribution

Consultants build tunnels. When you see the light at the end of the tunnel they build more tunnel. When you ask a simple question that challenges their narrative they answer a different question. When you press for an answer they duck. Slide 8 on NDC adoption is fake news. Whatever they might say, airfares booked in the gds are simply that. Nothing new. Nothing capable. However they find their way into the gds- including via an old fashioned API called #NDC. The only thing that has changed is the economics of the transaction. Yes. AMA keeps their “contribution”- slide 7. But the travel booker gets paid less. That’s what it’s always been about. #NewDistributionConjob.

Welcome your thoughts about the customer experience impacts / changes / improvements of the shift to Offers and Orders in our industry. Meg O'Keefe mentions one which I think we have all been encountered - how to align travel when we are not on the exact same itinerary? Managing seats or disruptions for the parts we are together is a pain point we hear frequently. Same for the having to start all over again when switching from one touchpoint / channel to another. What do you hope will change with the airline industry evolution?

Excellent report from my colleagues Sumati Sharma CA and Tim Bourne on the adoption of ONE Order. Three key findings: 🔦 Prioritizing business transformation is crucial ONE Order is a business-first revolution: Business transformation must be the top priority controlling the pre-defined business case and guiding technology developments. 🪙 Significant value gains in key processes While a ONE Order business transformation has the potential to generate value across all processes, we expect to see the greatest gains in voluntary servicing, revenue accounting, and partnerships with other carriers. 📐 Structured methodology ensures success We would stress the importance of using a structured methodology including comprehensive business process mapping, a multiyear plan definition, and robust change management.

As the journey to modern retailing accelerates, the focus has often been on the technical changes needed to bring new opportunities to life. But what will the transition mean for passengers? How are they set to benefit from the new world of Offer and Order, what are the real, tangible changes they can expect to see in the airline experience over the coming years? In a new blog post, Meg O'Keefe offers some answers. Take a look, here: https://lnkd.in/dfQRRkq5 #ModernRetailing #AmadeusNevio #Airlines #OfferOrder #ItsHowTravelWorksBetter

According to Air Cargo News, the air cargo market showed signs of cooling in September, due to a drop in global manufacturing activity and reduced e-commerce volumes. However, industry experts expect demand to rebound in October, driven by e-commerce sales and peak season preparations. Is your airline prepared to capitalise on the upcoming surge?
