Hahn Air has added 12 new partner airlines to
its network since the beginning of the year, enabling travel
agents around the world to offer additional options to clients via
their Global Distribution Systems (GDS).
Five airlines formed an interline agreement with
Hahn Air and are therefore available under their own code in
selected GDS. This includes markets where they do not participate
in local settlement systems (BSPs or ARC) or where they do not
grant ticketing authority. Travel agents also benefit from being
able to choose from additional payment options connected with the
HR-169 ticket that the airlines do not offer with their own
tickets.
In addition, many partners are available for
multi-airline ticketing even if they don’t have a contract with
each other. Availability of single and multi-airline ticketing
can be checked with the Quick Check tool on Hahn Air's website which has
already been successfully consulted by travel agents more than 20
million times.
Out of the new partners, seven carriers are
launching a worldwide GDS presence with Hahn Air. More than
100,000 travel agents in 190 markets can access their flights in
all major GDS under the X1 Code. Reservation and ticketing can be
done by following the standard GDS procedures.
The new Hahn Air partners 2023 YTD are:
Available under their own two-letter-code:
- Air Connect (KS), Romania (GDS: Amadeus);
- Air Tanzania (TC), Tanzania (GDS: Abacus,
Amadeus, Galileo, Infini, Sabre and TravelSky);
- Air Premia (YP), South Korea (GDS: Abacus,

“We are pleased to provide travel agents with
additional air content, thereby increasing their revenue,” said
Kimberley Long, Vice President Agency Distribution at Hahn Air.
“By trusting the Hahn Air ticket, travel agents enjoy a service
that is absolutely free and that is fully embedded in their GDS.
In addition, they benefit from 24/7 support, free insolvency
protection and a speedy refund process.”
The new partners join more than 350 carriers that
travel agents can issue on the insolvency-safe Hahn Air HR-169
ticket. With Hahn Air acting as the validating carrier, travel
agents gain access to carriers and routes that would otherwise not
be available in their GDS.
