Airfare data & tenders

From ticket data to demonstrable purchasing power

Two propositions that give insight into market position, contract opportunities and the actual performance of TMCs.

01Collective only

Airfare benchmarking

Compare your airline ticket purchases with the market and with your airline contracts. Analyse fares by travel class, booking window, GDS versus NDC, point of sale, route and airline.

Discover contract opportunities and simulate policy changes, such as more online bookings.

Indicative savings potential: 2–5% of the air travel budget.

Airfare benchmarking for TMC tenders

Select a TMC based on facts. Set out the benchmark methodology in the RFP, have participating TMCs supply standardised booking data and compare their fares (like for like) on, for example, your 20 most important routes.

An external auditor can carry out spot checks in the booking systems.

Business travel contract management

From market potential to correctly applied fares

LEAN negotiates on behalf of your organisation and monitors implementation, without disrupting existing contracts or relationships.

Contract management that goes beyond negotiation

We negotiate on your behalf with airlines, hotels, car rental companies and rail operators. You receive agreements that are ready to sign. We then make sure fares and conditions are processed correctly in your travel agent’s systems.
