JETSTAR is taking a more aggressive approach to marketing its flights through travel resellers, with a new direct connection via the Aeronology technology platform facilitating weekly payments, as a key improvement on the current instant purchase arrangements via the Jetstar industry portal.
Aeronology’s new Jetstar Direct Connect for Travel Advisors platform allows agents using the Aeronology via Express Tickets system in Australia or NZ to now book and ticket off the same screen as their GDS, via Direct Connect access directly to Jetstar, and down to last seat availability.
“Therefore travel agents have accessible content to all Jetstar services in Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan,” according to Aeronology CEO Russell Carstensen.
“Tickets can now be paid for weekly via Express Tickets normal invoice…and the travel advisor can add on their own markup and use their own logo on the Jetstar flight itinerary,” he said.
Carstensen said Aeronology was committed to providing its travel agent users the best point of sale system in the world, with the addition of Jetstar as the first low-cost carrier to the company’s existing suite of multi-GDS and NDC airlines further enhancing its “best in class booking engine”.
“Aeronology is extremely proud of its technology and distribution relationship with Jetstar…to provide our customers, the travel advisors, the ability to sell Jetstar off our platform and be able to bundle packages together in key leisure markets will be critical as the market evolves, rebuilds, and expands,” Carstensen enthused.
“Travel advisors will be able to easily charge a fee for their service, whereas in the past it was nearly impossible,” he added.
