Hahn Air
|
|
As a full-fledged member of IATA, Hahn Air has specialized in global sales and distribution for many years. In this capacity, Hahn Air has played a leading role in generating extra revenue for hundreds of airline partners worldwide from their secondary markets and out of additional marketing channels.
Due to the need to connect networks globally so as to facilitate data and financial transfer, airline IT is rapidly developing in complexity, costing investments in the tens of millions of dollars and requiring the know how of highly qualified people.
Also in view of IATA’s “Simplifying the Business” target for 100% e-ticketing by May 2008 it is becoming clear that as has been the case in operations, sales and maintenance for some time, that it makes economic sense to benefit from the experience of a highly specialized partner airline rather than to set up and maintain one’s own solution. This applies particularly when access to other markets would involve excessive complexity and expense or would block resources that could be more effectively utilized elsewhere within the organization.
Unlike IT service providers that offer airline industry-specific solutions without being involved in the day-to-day business of an airline, Hahn Air represents cooperation among airline partners and makes use of well-established industry-specific cooperation practices, including interlining and codesharing, as well as recognized tools such as IATA Clearing House.
Irrespective of the business model implemented by a passenger airline of any size and in any market, a decision to work with Hahn Air means cooperation for extra revenue.”
