German airline and distribution specialist, Hahn Air, has added eight new airlines to its global network.
Six of the new partners – Air Greenland (GL), Air North (4N) from Canada, Cyprus Airways (CY), Donghai Airlines (DZ) from China, Nordwind Airlines (N4) from Russia and MyWay Airlines (ML) from Georgia – will be expanding their distribution reach using the Hahn Air product HR-169, making their inventory available to agents on the Hahn Air HR-169 ticket.
The remaining two new airlines – New Airlines (NO) from Italy and Lao Skyway (LK) from Laos – have joined as H1-Air partners on Hahn Air Systems. This means their flights can be booked through GDSs under the H1 designator.
Hahn Air, which celebrates the 20th anniversary of its ticketing business this year, says the HR-169 agreement allows airlines that already have at least one GDS agreement to unlock secondary markets for indirect ticket sales.
For airlines without any GDS connections, the H1 solution allows them to outsource their complete indirect distribution to Hahn Air Systems and make their flights available under the code H1 in all major GDSs.
Alternatively, airlines can join the two solutions, closing the distribution gap by ticketing on H1 as well as building on the potential of primary and secondary markets with HR-169.
