The Flight Revolution & How It Affects The Travel Value Chain - WiT Singapore 2023

With the robust recovery of airlines post-pandemic, flight distribution is undergoing a quiet revolution behind the scenes. Indeed, you could argue this is the biggest step change in airline distribution since the 1980s when GDSes first came into being. Major traditional carriers have rolled out their NDC strategy to modernize their retailing. Low-cost airlines have sprung up post-pandemic, accounting for 30% of global air capacity. What does this all mean for the travel eco-system, from tech platforms to travel agencies to hoteliers and tourism businesses? This session will examine implications on every player in the value chain because air is the fuel of travel.
