Corendon Airlines, one of Turkey’s leading air carriers, has entered a strategic partnership with IBS Software to boost its commercial operations. By leveraging IBS Software’s iFly Res commerce platform Corendon will focus on improvizing the revenue streams and boosting operational efficiency. This initiative towards efficiency is fundamental as the airline is projected to process over 37 million passengers throughout the partnership.
According to Industry sources, this partnership will highlight the integration of IBS Software’s advanced Revenue Management solution powering improvements to Corendon’s bottom line. By providing a single, unified inventory that integrates both tour operator allotments and seat-only sales, the platform will boost revenue analysts to make consistent, data-driven decisions. This partnership also powers the dynamic optimization of pooled allotments, seat-only inventory, and pricing, all designed to maximize revenue. Additionally, iFly Res facilitates real-time data exchange with tour operator interfaces, ensuring seamless, uninterrupted operations.
Speaking about the partnership, Burcu Par Güler, PSS Project Manager of Corendon Airlines, stated: “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, IBS Software stated: “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 driving commercial success.”
Industry sources further added that IBS Software – a leading SaaS solutions provider to the global travel industry globally – was selected after an in-depth market evaluation which took over a year to complete. Corendon Airlines elected the iFly Res Passenger Service System (PSS) as it can distinctively unify Corendon’s seat-only and tour operator business under a consolidated inventory. In turn, manpower requirements are curbed, and revenue dilution is prevented.
Through NDC-based distribution, Corendon Airlines will now be able to offer dynamic budget and more personalized prospects, thereby boosting passenger satisfaction and maintaining a competitive edge. These real time-dynamic and personalized pricing capabilities are a vital tool in delivering the most cost-effective fares and ensuring pricing is competitive with other regional leisure travel providers.
Industry sources also confirmed that Corendon Airlines becomes the third Turkish airline, following Sun Express and Freebird, to join forces with IBS Software, reinforcing IBS Software’s leadership in the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and leisure travel markets from Central Europe to Turkey.
