Go First, the Indian ultra-low-cost carrier, has partnered with WorldTicket as its dedicated GDS Sub-Hosting solution provider. The partnership enables travel agents worldwide to book Go First flights in all the major Global Distribution System (GDSs) under the W2 code with WorldTicket as the marketing and validating carrier. Go First will further extend its global presence through the earlier announced sales partnership between WorldTicket and Discover the World.
“We are excited to partner with WorldTicket and Discover the World to strengthen our international presence,” said Kaushik Khona, CEO of Go First. “WorldTicket and DTW are leaders in global sales and distribution, and their combined expertise and reach will accelerate our growth plans in the global market. We believe the outsourcing of our global sales will open avenues for additional revenue streams while minimizing risk”.
“We are thrilled to enter into this global distribution partnership with Go First and Discover the World, who will be acting as our dedicated sales partner in many countries. Global OTAs, TMCs and Business Travel Chains will finally be able to book seats on Go First’s flights via their preferred GDS, resulting in additional revenues and an optimized Load Factor for Go First”, said Peer Winter, VP Commercial Business Development at WorldTicket.
By outsourcing its entire GDS distribution to WorldTicket (W2), Go First will exploit new revenue streams resulting from global sales with a high revenue quality, without any risks or any running costs. Moreover, Go First can use the same API integration to our Air Connection Engine to benefit from other services offered by the group, including virtual interlining and the innovative checked baggage solution, ThruBag.
By partnering with Discover the World, W2 and Go First will benefit from 100% targeted sales based on historic market KPIs that will contribute to generating a large volume for Go First resulting from GDS Sales via W2.
