Partners signs ten new airlines

 

Partners Software, the Bremen-based travel IT company, has signed a record number of new airlines to its market leading Low.Fare XML product in the first half of 2008.

Since January 2008, Partners Software added ten new international airlines to their Low.Fare online booking system. With these new additions, Low.Fare customers can now retrieve and book more than 120 low-cost airlines with ease by using just one booking system.

The new airlines are: Click4Sky, Darwin Airlines, AtlasJet, ItAli Airlines, MartinAir, Estonian Air, Spicejet, Alma de Mexico, GoAir and IndiGo Airlines. Since 2005, Partners Software has added an average of more than 20 new airlines a year.

“With more than 120 airlines integrated and several thousand customers activated, we are now the market leader for low-cost booking systems in Europe,” says Partners Software Managing Director, Wolfgang Brinker.

In addition to the ten new airlines for 2008, the company announced earlier this year its Low.Fare software was contracted to connect to easyJet’s Application Programming Interface (API).

Low.Fare was developed by Partners Software as the ultimate air solutions software. It finds and books low-cost airlines and other non-GDS fares and displays a fully transparent end-price, making it particularly suited for the business travel market. The premium version of Low.Fare aggregates fares from virtually any source including net, consolidator, GDS published, CAT35 and low-cost and can be linked to lodge cards (Amex, AirPlus) for settlement and reporting purposes.

More than 60 employees and IT contractors develop and market exclusive solutions for the travel industry.
