Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited | Mar. 14, 2007
Oasis Hong Kong Airlines recently signed a new full content distribution agreement with Galileo, a leading global distribution system (GDS) provider, and subsidiary of Travelport. Through the agreement, all published fares, booking classes, and associated seat inventory offered by Oasis will be available to all users of the Galileo GDS including Galileo-connected travel agencies, corporate customers and Travelport online agencies such as eBookers.
Lesley Hagan, Head of International Distribution, Oasis Hong Kong Airlines said, "This cooperation will enable us to improve the service and level of choice that we deliver to our agents, in particular those based in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, as the first to book exclusive Oasis content in GDS. Consequently, Galileo-connected travel agents will have new opportunities to increase sales with new Oasis content available directly on their desktops."
Brad Holman, Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Galileo by Travelport, said "We are particularly excited to be working with Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. Their pioneering approach to long-haul, low fare air travel and their decision to make their inventory available to Galileo demonstrate the value differentiation which the two organisations are providing for the industry."
Michael Wirth, Oasis' Head of Information Technology, said "Galileo has allowed us to integrate new techniques that will benefit both the travel agent and Oasis, expanding our reach to the global travel community while maintaining our low fares approach at the same time."
"We are pleased to be working with Galileo", Ms. Hagan concluded, "In addition to extending our reach to the global markets, we are confident this new arrangement will enable the travel industry at large, and the sizable travel agent community in Asia and the United Kingdom in particular, to see the true value of our products. In the long run, we are committed to working closely with the travel agents community as Oasis Hong Kong is rapidly growing in popularity amongst travellers and expanding its range of products."
