About AirXML API Training

Before undertaking the AirXML link implementation project, the client should understand the basics of the Reservations system operation, booking procedures, and have the basic understanding of the distribution channels in general.

In the early days, and for many years thereafter, the main driving force in development of the distribution channels were airlines. During this period, several transformations of the distribution channels occured, and at the end of this period, the major airlines behind these transformations relinguished control of their Reservations systems on behalf of the GDS companies. The major distribution channels created by traditional major carriers, and Reservations systems used today by these carriers are often reffered to as the "Legacy World".

In the recent year, some new Industry enterants arrived, not being preoccupiad with the legacy world and trends established by the major carriers, and not being afraid to implement new models of offering their products to the customers, primarely using so called " Direct channels".

The success of these carriers quickly reveailed that substantional cost saving can be achieved, with improved market reach, by utilizing Interent as the major distribution channel.
