What to look for
If you mean “channel management” in the hotel sense, airlines usually use a mix of:
- GDS distribution
- NDC/API distribution
- Direct web/mobile sales
- Corporate/agent portals
- Interline/partner sales
- Ancillary/offer management
So the best-fit platform depends on whether you need:
- distribution connectivity
- booking and reservation management
- offer/order management
- retailing and ancillaries
- pricing and revenue optimization
If you want, I can also give you:
- a comparison table of the main vendors, or
- a shortlist by airline type (full-service, low-cost, regional, startup).
