Iran based Mahan Air has agreed to make its inventory available to Travelport agency users at rates equivalent to the carrier’s web fares. Hopefully in the near future major Online Travel Agents like Expedia and Opodo will add Mahan Air flights to their offerings. The carrier has upgraded its GDS connectivity on Galileo and Worldspan to ensure real-time access to its fares and inventory. Other functionality upgrades include interactive seats, and real time schedule updates. As of 2011 the carrier handles 13% of all international flights from Iran and 8% of all domestic flights. Its good to hear of regional carriers expanding their accessibility and updating their overall booking systems, hopefully this effort extends into other areas like customer service and loyalty programs.
