Distribution
PhoCusWright projected the GDSs' share of the U.S. travel market in 2010 would be 36 percent, on par with 2009 and up one point from 2008.
In the U.S., "GDS air transactions accounted for nearly two two-thirds of all airline passenger revenue in 2008," according to the firm's new report about the role and value of global distribution systems, commissioned by the Interactive Travel Services Association.
