Comment from Caroline at BE for discussion: (postponed from last meeting)
Focus should be on the current and future distribution models. These include API links to websites which bypass the GDS, how other airline action such as AA removing flights from Sabre may impact the business, etc. I'm sure the GDS have ideas on how they are planning
to cope with such competition. The GDS/distribution model that was around 5 years ago no longer exists and the group needs to ensure it no longer dwells on passives and duplicates!
