Galileo International has enhanced its Agency Private Fares solution which gives agents across EMEA and Asia Pacific greater and easier control over how they manage specially negotiated fares which have been filed by airlines.

As per the information available ,the new enhancements give agents the ability, flexibility and power to quickly and easily adapt and manipulate public or private fares already filed by an airline, enabling them to take full advantage of the trend towards the filing of 'Category 35' fares.

'Category 35' is a method by which airlines can file detailed agent-specific automated private fares and ticketing information.

Mark Rizzuto, managing director- Asia, Cendant TDS said that the increased functionality within the Galileo Agency Private Fares product means that agents can simply and quickly create and distribute agency private fares of all types.

"Agents can now be sure they are offering the most accurate fares to their clients, confident in the knowledge that the Galileo fares system fully validates all private fare rules," said Rizzuto.

An increasing number of airlines are filing 'Category 35' fares via the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO), requiring agents to make changes to mark-up and distribute these net fares.

The upgrade to Agency Private Fares enables agents to mark fare prices up or down as well as waive, amend or add rules and then redistribute these fares within the whole agency group. Additionally, should the airline make future changes to the net price, the viewed desktop price will automatically and dynamically be updated to reflect the changes already made without any further input by the agent, as per the information available.
