the Global Distribution Systems created by the airlines are very expensive and with the decrease in airline content available in the GDS with the demise of Kingfisher Airlines, corporates are turning to the nonGDS carriers to satisfy their requirements for intra-India travel. Hence, to tap the growing interest among corporates to shift their employee travel bookings online, we now have also built support of low- cost carrier content for our corporate clients,” said Juneau. “Our clients are typically corporate, whom we serve in partnership with our travel partners, namely Amex, BCD Travel, Kuoni, CWX, Thomas Cook. Going forward, we are also looking at possibility of working with more travel partners to expand our travel management company’s network,” he added. Further, sharing the finding of the survey done by AC Nielson, Juneau said, “Corporates take approximately six days on an average to decide on air travel component, while the air costs keep increasing on almost daily basis. The survey points out at the possibility of easily saving 10-15 per cent on such costs. Here, we offer our clients the option to choose the entire gamut of our cloud-based services platform, or choose some part of the solution to automate travel request process, acquire online booking tool GDS and excess online expenses reporting cloud based application.
