The battle
to lower distribution costs is never ending and airline industry
executives are willing to challenge any and all of the current
business
models in their quest to lower distribution costs and
increase profits.
New competitors are looking to take away market
share from
today’s GDS providers; while oil prices and economic
events
are adding uncontrollable variances to the delicate balance
of
airline operations in an era of cheap airfares
and major airline
restructuring.
On behalf of UATP and
Airline Distribution
we look forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur in April.
