Aviareps to launch in India

Mumbai: Aviareps, the world's biggest GSA in terms of subsidiary networks, is set to launch its Indian operation, having already lined up its first international airline client, an African carrier, through the IATA Business Consolidation Systems (IBCS) route.
The company, based in Germany, represents 50 airlines worldwide in 30 countries. IBCS is a more economically viable option to joining BSP compared to direct membership for airlines with low volumes of business in a given market.
In an ETW exclusive, Joseph Fernandes, general manager India, Aviareps, said, "The cost of direct BSP membership is US $15,000 in India which is a one time cost but joining through the IBCS sets the said airline back by just US $1000 and entails a monthly fee. We already have one international airline going online in India through IBCS." Market sources revealed this airline is African.
