Germany-based Hahn Air Group has created a new company, Hahn Air Technologies, to offer alternative distribution channels for airlines.

The company’s first product, X1-Air, is intended for airlines that currently have “limited or no indirect distribution connectivity.” It allows participating carriers to sell flights through Amadeus, Sabre and soon Travelport, as well as offers scheduling, fare filing, messaging, inventory management, booking, ticketing and settlement.

“Our products complete any airline’s distribution strategy,” says Alexander Proschka, head of Hahn Air Technologies.

“X1-Air allows low-cost airlines to outsource their complete indirect distribution in a simple, risk-free and cost-efficient manner. For regional airlines we provide easy access to a truly global distribution network of over 100,000 travel agencies in 190 markets. For all airlines which only have direct distribution channels, X1-Air is the perfect first step to enter indirect distribution.”

Hahn Air Technologies’ initial clients include Air Panama, ASL Airline France, Azur Air Ukraine, Jam Airlink Express, Mayair, Ulendo Airlink, Westair Aviation and Wildcat Touring.

The company says Hahn Air Technologies will serve as an innovation center to develop other new distribution systems such as NDC and blockchain- and mobile-based solutions.
