Hahnair, a leading provider of ticketing solutions, continues to make significant strides in the global travel industry. With the recent integration of eight new partner airlines, the company is enhancing its network, further cementing its position as a key player in the travel sector. The new partnerships include Air Rarotonga from the Cook Islands, EuroAtlantic Airways from Portugal, Eurowings from Germany, My Freighter from Uzbekistan, Wideroe from Norway, BermudAir from Bermuda, Aero Dili from Timor Leste, and LIAT 20 from Antigua and Barbuda. These additions allow travel consultants to offer an even wider variety of destinations and services to their clients.
As part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations, these new partnerships enhance Hahnair’s offerings by providing travel consultants access to these airlines through selected Global Distribution Systems (GDS) platforms. Travel agents can now book these airlines under their own IATA codes as well as through Hahnair’s unique H1 and X1 codes. This expansion is a significant move to make travel booking more accessible and convenient for agents around the globe, increasing their ability to cater to diverse traveler needs and preferences.
Candy Kasonkomona, the Regional VP for Africa at Hahnair, highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to equipping travel agents with the tools they need to succeed. She emphasized that expanding their network of airline partners and offering new incentives reflect Hahnair’s dedication to supporting travel professionals with efficient and rewarding solutions. “By continuously expanding our airline network and introducing new incentives, we reinforce our dedication to supporting travel agents with seamless solutions and rewarding partnerships,” said Kasonkomona. This expansion reinforces Hahnair’s mission to simplify ticketing and create new business opportunities for travel consultants worldwide.
With over 350 partner carriers now in its network, Hahnair has built a robust and flexible system that caters to a diverse range of destinations and travel needs. The company has also introduced several tools designed to streamline the booking and ticketing processes. Among these tools is the ‘Quick Check’ feature, which simplifies ticketing for travel consultants, allowing them to process bookings more quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Hahnair’s 24/7 Service Desk ensures that agents have support whenever they need it, whether for booking issues, troubleshooting, or general inquiries.
In an exciting move to reward its network of travel consultants, Hahnair has introduced a 1% upfront commission on all HR-169 tickets issued through any GDS. This commission applies to all partner airlines, including those under the X1-Air and H1-Air codes. The initiative is a valuable incentive for travel consultants, further strengthening the company’s partnership with the travel agent community. Hahnair also continues to offer its free insolvency protection service, Securtix®, which adds an extra layer of security for both agents and their clients. Additionally, the seamless refund process ensures that consultants and travelers alike benefit from a smooth experience from booking to final travel completion.
This combination of an expanded airline network, new incentives, and innovative support tools places Hahnair at the forefront of the travel ticketing industry, offering both travel consultants and travelers a higher level of service, flexibility, and security. As the travel industry continues to evolve, Hahnair’s commitment to supporting its partners remains unwavering, and its recent developments promise even more opportunities for growth and success in the future.
