Galileo / Travelport, Sabre and Abacus are among the top global
distribution systems available today. Global distribution systems
consolidate the data for airlines, hotels, cars, packages and
cruises. This consolidated data, is then shared to end travel
reservation software / travel portals through their proprietary web
services APIs.
Airline

generally considered to be the user side system for any airline or
GDS. It consists of the exchange of data through the GDS system,
which consolidates the worldwide airline data and share through
unique web services API. This is an effective and efficient way of
consolidating the global airlines availability and pricing, which is
combined together with best GUI interface and published for end users
on any airline reservation system (GDS based).

reservation system, which consist-off hotel reservation system,
transfer system and sightseeing module. GDS system, which is known as
global distribution system is the interface between a travel
reservation system and the end airlines, because it consolidates the
