Abstract
For decades, distribution has been a key ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) area for airlines and this sector has been dominated by four (now three)
Global Distribution Systems (GDSs) whose primacy has been threatened over the last four
years by a set of new players, the so called GDS New Entrants (GNEs). GNEs emerged
with the advent of the Internet and open source technology as ‘disintermediation’
facilitators and generated vast interest from airlines because they promised to reduce the
cost of distribution.
This paper explores the impact of ICTs on airlines with a focus on GDSs. It provides an
overview of the changing market dynamics, analyses the environment that led to the
appearance of GNEs and pinpoints the issues behind their until now failure to provide a
true alternative to the GDSs. This analysis complements existing academic research in that
it clarifies critical issues in the air travel distribution field and provides an overview of
current industry developments
