SpiceJet is revamping its ticket distribution as it expands its international network. On Wednesday the airline tied up with Amadeus, a global distribution system service provider, giving global travel agents access to its ticket inventory.
Passengers, however, will have to pay a surcharge for tickets issued through Amadeus. The airline has not announced the surcharge, but sources said it may range from $10-15 per ticket. There will be no additional fee for tickets booked through other modes. SpiceJet has announced new international flights to Colombo and Jeddah from Hyderabad and plans to open up new routes in China, Central Asia and Russia.
Global distribution systems or GDS refers to travel reservation tools used by travel agents around the world to make bookings.
