Flynas: GDS are a profit centre, but carrier remains open to all distribution channels

Flynas CEO Paul Byrne, speaking at CAPA's Airlines in Transition Conference on 25/26-Mar-2015, stated (25-Mar-2015) the airline maintains a relationship with all the GDS companies and sees them as a profit centre. Flynas is not able to sell all of its products on the GDS networks and is open to as many types of distribution as it can access. Mr Byrne noted that Saudi Arabian technology use is strongly oriented towards mobile device. Consequently the airline has adjusted its own online platforms to make them more accessible for such technology.
