Breathing life into the moribund GDS

Long Haul LCC - Oasis Hong Kong has joined Abacus as a participating airline. Does this mean that this prototype LCC long haul carrier has sold out?

No i believe that this is going to be the result of a new reality in the GDS/Airline relationship. Whether it is sustainable is to be seen - however all the GDS - Abacus included - need to show a positive result after the dramatic change in commercials from last year's PCA revisions.

Its win for both sides; Oasis needs more distribution, Abacus needs a new airline. Will Oasis use the GDS when it comes to the USA this year? Good question. Stay tuned

Cheers

Timothy
