Qantas has today confirmed that trade partners are set to benefit from lower pricing when booking domestic fares through Qantas’ next-generation distribution platform.
From 29 November 2022, travel agents and indirect customers will be able to take advantage of Australian domestic fares at a lower price via the Qantas Distribution Platform, compared to other indirect booking systems, in a move the airline says will “offer better value and confidence when booking Qantas fares.”
The lower domestic fares will reportedly be made available to all travel agents, travel management companies and online booking tools accessing content via the Qantas Distribution Platform.
The national carrier said that it has continued to invest in the capabilities of its Qantas Distribution Platform, releasing special offers and new revenue opportunities and growing its network of Technology Partners while expanding the program internationally.
Executive Manager of Global Sales and Distribution Igor Kwiatkowski said that lowering pricing would be the latest in a line of benefits rolled out to trade partners through the airline’s distribution strategy.
“Through the Qantas Distribution Platform, we have continued to invest in and modernise our distribution capabilities to the highest industry standards and lower pricing means that we can share these benefits and efficiencies with our trade partners,” said Mr Kwiatkowski.
“Lower pricing will be a great incentive for our partners in adopting the Qantas Distribution Platform as well as creating more value and confidence when booking Qantas fares.
“The initiative will complement the many capabilities already enabled through our distribution platform from dynamic commission offers to personalisation for customers.
“We know that some of our partners are still in the process of connecting to the platform, so we’ll be providing extra support in the three months leading up to the launch of lower pricing.”
