Turkish carrier Corendon Airlines has entered a strategic partnership with IBS Software to enhance its commercial operations and boost efficiency. By adopting IBS Software's iFly Res commerce platform, Corendon aims to improve revenue streams and streamline operations as the airline anticipates handling over 37 million passengers throughout the duration of the partnership.
IBS Software, a renowned SaaS solutions provider for the global travel industry, was selected after a comprehensive market evaluation lasting over a year. Corendon chose the iFly Res Passenger Service System (PSS) thanks to its ability to consolidate the airline's seat-only and tour operator business into a unified inventory. This approach will reduce manpower needs and prevent revenue dilution, allowing Corendon to operate more efficiently.
The partnership will also introduce IBS Software's advanced Revenue Management solution, helping to optimise Corendon's financial performance. By unifying both tour operator allotments and seat-only sales into a single inventory, revenue analysts will be able to make data-driven decisions with greater consistency. This integration enables the dynamic optimisation of pooled allotments, seat-only inventory, and pricing strategies, all aimed at maximising profitability. Additionally, iFly Res allows for real-time data exchange with tour operator interfaces, ensuring seamless operations without disruption.
The introduction of NDC-based distribution will enable Corendon Airlines to offer dynamic pricing and more personalised options, improving passenger satisfaction while maintaining a competitive edge. These capabilities will allow Corendon to deliver cost-effective fares and ensure its pricing remains competitive in the regional leisure travel market. The airline now joins Sun Express and Freebird as the third Turkish carrier to partner with IBS Software, further solidifying IBS's leadership in the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and leisure travel sectors between Central Europe and Türkiye .
The first phase of the partnership is set to launch in December, followed by the second phase in March 2025.
