Turkish carrier Corendon Airlines has entered a strategic partnership with IBS Software to revolutionise its commercial operations.
The airline, which is predicted to process over 37 million passengers over the duration of the partnership, will leverage the iFly Res commerce platform to improve revenue streams and enhance operational efficiency.
The airline selected the iFly Res Passenger Service System (PSS) to unify its seat-only and tour operator business under a consolidated inventory.
The partnership will see the integration of IBS Software’s advanced Revenue Management solution, too.
With the agreement dynamic optimisation of pooled allotments, seat-only inventory, and pricing, will all be leveraged, alongside real-time data exchange with tour operator interfaces for improved operations.
Through NDC-based distribution, Corendon Airlines will now be able to offer dynamic pricing and more personalised options, enhancing passenger satisfaction and maintaining a competitive edge.
These real-time dynamic and personalised pricing capabilities are a vital tool in delivering the most cost-effective fares and ensuring pricing is competitive with other regional leisure travel providers.
Burcu Par Güler, PSS project manager of Corendon Airlines, said: “At Corendon Airlines, our mission is to deliver exceptional travel experiences. By partnering with IBS Software, we are leveraging cutting-edge technology to refine our operations and elevate our service offerings.
“This partnership is a pivotal step in our growth strategy, and we are thrilled to be working with like-minded individuals who share our passion for innovation.”
Ben Simmons, VP & regional head of Europe and Africa of IBS Software, said: “We are delighted to welcome Corendon Airlines to our expanding family of airline partners in Turkey. The iFly Res platform is tailored to meet the unique needs of hybrid tour operators and charter airlines like Corendon.
“We are committed to helping Corendon Airlines achieve their goals of bringing more people to Turkish shores and drive commercial success. “
Corendon Airlines becomes the third Turkish airline, following Sun Express and Freebird, to select IBS Software’s solutions.
The first phase of the partnership is due to go live in December, with the second phase scheduled for March 2025.
