Cox & Kings tie-up with Indian for Direct Reservation Interface

Mumbai: Cox & Kings (C & K) has tied up with Indian (formerly Indian Airlines) for a direct online interface wherein the tour operator major's portal will have real time access to the airline's inventory.
This, John Nair, national head, business development and sales, says will be a considerable value add for C&K's business travel clientele as well as help Indian shore up distribution costs.
Additionally, Karan Anand, director contracting, C&K told ETW that C&K was to open offices in Taiwan and Singapore in light of the growing business on the inbound and outbound front. C&K's direct online interface with Indian will give C&K clientele direct real time access to latest, updated IC fares as opposed to the time lag it usually takes on the GDS.
C&K is also talking to other domestic carriers about a similar, direct interface. "The direct interface will also help cut down manpower costs and make e-ticketing more commonplace, thereby making travel more efficient and sophisticated," Nair said.
