The two companies will work closely together to increase the volume of bookings on Transaero Airlines’ flights via the cost-effective Abacus system.

The Russian airline will utilise Abacus’ extensive network to amplify its marketing and sales reach within Central Asia.

This cooperation will also allow for the use of more revenue maximisation functionalities offered by Abacus and provide wider coverage for all its agents.

Having established a significant presence in Kazakhstan, Abacus is investing substantial amount of resources to deploy Abacus’ technologies and solutions in achieving a wider reach throughout Central Asia.

Boris Gulnitsky, Transaero Airlines deputy general director – commercial director, said as the airline continues to grow in Central Asia, Abacus has become its choice partner to expand its sales opportunities due to the latter’s cutting-edge technology and solutions.

Ho Hoong Mau, Abacus International’s division head, airline distribution (pictured right), said with the partnership Abacus would be able to help Transaero leverage its productive network to reach more customers in Asia, as well as facilitate cross-selling on the code-share partners like Singapore Airlines.

“Central Asia has long been a key focal area for Abacus and we seek to continue our investment in this key region as we maximise bookings for Transaero,” he added.

Based in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, Transaero currently operates flights to more than 130 domestic and international destinations, covering markets in Asia, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, Thailand, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.
