Air Paradise International (AD), a new Indonesian airline based in Bali, is
the 72th carrier to upgrade to ABACUS International’s Direct Connect Sell
(DCS) Service. The airline, which started operations in February 2003, signed on to the service, which was developed to enable customers to
better manage seat selection and allocation as well as provide instant confirmation of bookings.
ABACUS’ Direct Connect Sell (DCS) service provides better seat control
and yield management to airlines and minimises the chances of over-bookings for certain flights. Subscribers also have the option to
subscribe to the Interactive Pre-Reserve Seats (IPRS) and Interactive Seat
Map (IMAP), allowing travel agents to make seat selections on flights and
providing instant confirmation.
“The DCS service has been one of our most popular Airline offerings since
we developed it in 1988. We are constantly looking for ways to help our
customers optimise their bookings and the success of DCS is testament to
how useful our products are to our customers,” said Mr Rogelio Sarreal,
Vice President and Head of Associate Sales.
“We are a new airline and our initial routes connect Melbourne and Perth in
Australia and Jakarta in Indonesia to our base in Bali. With the recent turmoil, a lot of flights to Bali were cancelled. However we feel that Bali can
recover very quickly and we can help by facilitating travel to Bali from our
strong markets. Signing on to DCS helps us maximise sales from potential
last-minute bookings and we are very happy to have this service available
to us,” said Mr Kadek Wiranatha, owner of Air Paradise International. |
