Jetstar continues to expand GDS partners, adds Abacus

Jetstar has announced a brand new GDS agreement with Abacus covering both Jetstar Australia, Jetstar Asia and by next month will also include Jetstar Pacific.

This new partnership further confirms the carrier’s new focus on global distribution networks, following its agreements late last year with both Sabre and Worldspan.

“Jetstar has ambitious growth plans for the Asia Pacific market and so the increase of our participation with Abacus will provide heightened brand exposure and distribution in the region, and provide more options for customers to purchase our fares,” said David Koczkar, Jetstar Executive Manager Commercial.

Abacus distributes its products throughout 50 countries within the Asia-Pacific and is widely disseminated throughout the Southeast Asian region.
