Guest Post on State of Airline Industry
Posted by Brian Smith at July 31st, 2006

With Sabre’s Q2 2006 earnings call scheduled for Thursday, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in writing a guest post on the DCA-3 agreements, the recent spate of announcements by the airlines about the $3.50 booking fee, the content airlines will provide to each distribution network, reduced GDS incentive fees (TWP said last week it could cost Expedia $30-$35m of annual EBITDA).

Doesn’t matter if you’re at American, Expedia, G2 Switchworks, or Kayak…talk from whatever perspective you want. Travel Weekly has done a great job of covering the news, but I’m looking for someone to pull all the pieces together and explain what’s really going on and how this will effect all the players in the travel industry. Obviously I’d appreciate at least a footnote about the travel search engines, but it’s not a requirement.

If interested, email me at ‘brian at verticalsearch dot net’
