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.
