Why GDSes need OPEN Communication Hubs

GDSes are an essential connection with the Open Communication Hub. AIRS has established airline connectivity with GDSes such as:

•Abacus

•Amadeus

•HP/EDS Shares

•SABRE

•TravelPort (Worldspan/Galileo/Apollo)

What limits a GDS is a tendency to provide the messaging bundled as part of its managed services. The Open Communication Hub allows not only airlines to interconnect easily to multiple GDSes, but to develop their own strategy (marketing, technical, etc.). That, in turn, allows their partners, in this case the GDS, to integrate its networks and applications.

How airlines take control of their legacy messaging

Control is a significant airline benefit provided by the OPEN Communication Hub. Communication among all partners provides flight-critical messaging in all departments, from Operations, to MRO, to regulatory, regardless of the level of technology of the remote airports or the format the particular message recipient requires. That’s a major benefit the single appliance AIRS offers to aviation today.
