IATA WEB LINK CONSOLIDATOR SYSTEM: IWCS

• Many airlines have already expanded their direct sales channels by introducing web-based direct booking services available to travel agencies.
• Travel agents now use these web-based booking sites to have access to the best fares and to book travel sales transactions.
• Airlines needed a solution that facilitates the process of allowing cash payments from agencies, as well as paying commissions and incentives to travel agencies that use the direct booking method...
• Solution:IWCS - BSP SETTLEMENT FOR WEB SALES - ACCESS IATA TRAVEL AGENTS ON A VARIABLE COST BASIS WITHOUT GDS PARTICIPATION
• IWCS is IBCS for those airlines who wish to save GDS costs and credit card costs by having the IATA Travel Agents book tickets directly though the Airlines website/IBE _ Internet Booking Engine and have the ability to pay for the tickets using cash through the BSP.
