Azul Linhas A\u00e9reas Brasileiras<\/a> aims to gain greater control and insight into its distribution strategy and revenue management in partnership with Accelya<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The leading Latin American carrier has agreed a partnership with the airline technology specialist to adopt its BIDT Audit solution.<\/p>\n

Accelya said this will give the airline more control over its GDS bookings, address distribution inefficiencies, and recover lost revenue.<\/p>\n

Azul, which books hundreds of thousands of passengers annually via multiple GDS providers, will use BIDT Audit to improve visibility into booking activity and identify violations that drive unnecessary costs.<\/p>\n

The technology has been brought in to allow the airline to address booking abuse challenges that contribute to inventory mismanagement, inflated GDS invoices, and reduced operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9 Mercadante, director of alliances, planning and revenue management, at Azul, said: \u201cPartnering with Accelya to implement BIDT Audit is an important step for us as we continue to optimize our GDS operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transparency and insights that Accelya\u2019s solution provides will allow us to proactively identify and resolve booking misuse, recover lost revenue, and strengthen our relationships with travel agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accelya\u2019s BIDT Audit solution was developed for airlines, like Azul, to enable them to monitor GDS transactions in near real-time, identify discrepancies, and enforce compliance with booking policies.<\/p>\n

Auditing capabilities help airlines uncover hidden revenue losses and address policy violations before they impact bottom-line performance.<\/p>\n

Accelya said BIDT Audit \u201cgoes beyond detection\u201d and plays a key role in enforcing airline policies, providing insights about potential violations, while also equipping airlines with actionable intelligence to make data-driven decisions on GDS costs.<\/p>\n

Philip Fernandes, senior vice president of product management at Accelya, said: \u201cAzul is dedicated to minimising financial leakages and has partnered with Accelya on various revenue assurance initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new engagement for BIDT Audit aligns perfectly with Azul’s vision. Our BIDT service provides airlines with a comprehensive solution to significantly reduce booking abuses. The BIDT Audit offers near real-time visibility into GDS activity, enabling airlines to act swiftly.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom automated detection to policy-driven enforcement and ADM generation, we deliver a closed-loop solution that helps airlines curb booking misuse, reduce costs, and enhance agency-airline partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
