AerQio vs a Traditional GDS Terminal
The GDS finds fares. It doesn't run your agency.
Amadeus, Galileo and Sabre are excellent at searching and issuing. Everything before and after — invoicing, collecting payment, reconciling the BSP, managing the client — happens outside the terminal. AerQio connects both worlds.
| Task | GDS terminal alone | AerQio |
|---|---|---|
| Fare search | Command-line entries in the GDS terminal, one leg at a time | Visual search form, results and markup applied automatically |
| Invoicing after issuance | Copy PNR details into a separate invoicing tool by hand | Invoice generated straight from the booking, same screen |
| BSP billing reconciliation | Download the MIR, reconcile it in a spreadsheet separately | MIR upload matches issued tickets and commissions automatically |
| Client & lead tracking | Not part of the GDS — needs a separate CRM or none at all | Built-in CRM with history, pipeline and automated follow-ups |
| Team visibility | Each agent's terminal session is siloed; no shared dashboard | One dashboard for the whole agency: bookings, payments, KPIs |
| Direct GDS access | Full native command set, maximum control for power users | AerQio Flights search and ticket issuance inside AerQio (GDS Pro plan) |
AerQio unifies flight search and all your agency operations in a single modern environment.
“We searched and issued our first TK ticket in under three minutes. No training needed. The flight engine is cleaner than traditional terminals.”
