Distribution at American Airlines (A)
內容大綱
American Airlines sought to reduce the fees it pays to global distribution services (GDSs) (such as SABRE) to reach travel agents. But GDSs held significant tactical advantages. For example, GDSs had signed long-term exclusive contracts with the corporate customers who were American's best customers. Furthermore, travel agents tended to favor whichever GDS offered the highest commissions - impeding price competition among GDSs. Against this backdrop, American considered how best to cut its GDS costs.
