Corendon Airlines, a prominent Turkish airline, is taking a significant step towards optimizing its commercial operations by forming a strategic alliance with IBS Software. This partnership aims to transform the airline’s revenue generation and operational efficiency, empowering Corendon to seamlessly handle over 37 million passengers throughout the duration of the agreement.
IBS Software, a leading provider of SaaS solutions within the global travel industry, was selected by Corendon Airlines after a comprehensive market analysis that spanned over a year. Corendon opted for IBS Software’s iFly Res Passenger Service System (PSS) due to its unique ability to streamline the airline’s seat-only and tour operator operations within a single, consolidated inventory. This integration eliminates the need for excessive manpower and minimizes the risk of revenue leakage.
This strategic alliance extends beyond streamlined operations, encompassing the implementation of IBS Software’s cutting-edge Revenue Management solution, designed to elevate Corendon Airlines’ financial performance. By consolidating both tour operator allotments and seat-only bookings into a unified inventory, the iFly Res platform empowers revenue analysts to make informed decisions based on real-time data, driving consistent growth. The partnership also facilitates dynamic optimization of inventory, pricing, and seat availability, all geared towards maximizing revenue potential.
The iFly Res platform ensures smooth and efficient operations by supporting real-time data exchange with tour operator interfaces, eliminating any disruptions. Additionally, Corendon Airlines will leverage NDC-based distribution, enabling dynamic pricing and personalized offers tailored to individual passengers. This approach not only improves customer satisfaction but also maintains a competitive edge in the leisure travel market. By delivering real-time, personalized pricing, Corendon Airlines ensures it remains competitive with other regional travel providers while offering the most cost-effective fares to its passengers.
Burcu Par Güler, PSS Project Manager of Corendon Airlines, highlighted the significance of the partnership: “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, expressed his enthusiasm: “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’ partnership with IBS Software solidifies the latter’s dominance in the Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and leisure travel sectors from Central Europe to Turkey. This collaboration marks the third Turkish carrier, following Sun Express and Freebird, to partner with IBS Software, further solidifying IBS Software’s position as a leader in the industry.
