GoQuo successfully integrates CAT35 facilities for
Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre and Worldspan
GoQuo became one of the first travel technology firms to
successfully integrate the CAT 35 ATPCO functionalities
of all Global Distribution Systems(GDS) present in the
UK.
CAT 35 is a format used by airlines to distribute net
fares to the travel trade direct to the travel firms’
individual pseudo city code (PCC) of their respective
GDS. CAT 35 is expected to revolutionise the travel
trade as it aims to phase out distributing paper
contracts which, until now, is still considered the
industry standard for fare distribution. Vigorously
supported by major airlines, the new system aims to
streamline the cost of formulating and distributing net
contracts as airlines feed relevant pricing information
directly to their partners. CAT 35 also aims to reduce
the amount of ADMs imposed by airlines to their partners
as it engenders more accuracy in fare quoting and
issuance.
According to Dasun Weeransinghe, Development Manager of
GoQuo: “Successfully integrating CAT 35 fares became a
priority for GoQuo as we took note of the number of
airlines which are adapting to this new type of fare
distribution. As we work with flight consolidators and
with travel agents, it is essential for us to do this
integration for our clients so that our clients can
continually have a competitive edge over their
competitors. “
With its CAT 35 success, GoQuo’s system became one of
the very first travel online booking system providers to
simultaneously sell published, CAT 35 and net fares
(paper contract fares) in its flight and its dynamic
packaging systems. With the standard revenue management
system that comes as standard to ALL of GoQuo’s booking
system, this integration provides an even greater
opportunity for flight consolidators to increase their
market share and revenue by making all possible
contracts accessible accurately online.
