Moving to Modern Airline Retailing is far more than replacing fares, availability queries, and tickets with Offers and Orders. It is a unique opportunity to rethink an airline’s approach to partner and product management. The move also carries significant downstream implications: what is offered must be delivered reliably, even during disruptions and across multiple modes of transport.
Why I have the capacity to help ?
I have hands-on experience with the traditional EDIFACT and TELETYPE distribution standards. I was also deeply involved in developing the business architecture work behind New Distribution Capability and Modern Airline Retailing, including the development of Reference Business Architecture for Distribution with Offers and Orders.
Services:
- Map traditional distribution to airline retailing at a conceptual level, and at the level of specific standards.
- Help your team to understand which business capabilities are mature, what standards are yet to be tested, and what challenges to expect.
- Identify the impact of Orders on your operational processes at airports and disruption management.
- Compare and contrast the traditional interlining agreement with the key premises of the Standard Retailer Supplier Interline Agreement.
- Put into perspective the design goals and assumptions behind the new standards.
