GDSes vs Airlines
è¯»åˆ°ä¸€ç¯‡å¾ˆæœ‰è¶£çš„æ–‡ç« ï¼Œå…³äºŽèˆªç©ºå…¬å¸å’ŒGDS(Global Distribution System)之间的互动,了解了ä¸å°‘旅行社订票系统的知识,以åŠæ–°çš„东西。记在这儿当个资料,四大GDS系统:
Sabre – originated as the American Airlines reservation system, but is now independent
Galileo — one of its major progenitors was Apollo, the United reservation system, but Galileo is now part of Cendant (a provider of “travel, real estate, vehicle, and financial services”)
Amadeus — origins as the reservation system of several European airline res systems, was until earlier this year a publicly-traded company, recently taken private by a private equity, though Iberia, Air France/KLM and Lufthansa still have stakes. Also bought (in the mid 1990s) SystemOne, the Continental (and before that, Eastern) res system.
Worldspan — origins as the TWA, Northwest and Delta reservation systems, but now privately owned (it had an abortive IPO attempt in 2004).
新兴绕过GDS的订票系统:
G2 Switchworks was launched by the former technology head of Orbitz to develop webtools to bypass GDSes.
ITA is another on the same trail.
