What GDS systems does Tripgic connect to?

Tripgic connects to all three major Global Distribution Systems: Amadeus (1E), Sabre (1S), and Travelport (1G/1V — Galileo, Apollo, Worldspan). All are accessed through a single normalized REST API.

Do I need separate contracts with each GDS?

No. A single commercial relationship with Tripgic covers all GDS networks. You do not need to negotiate separate contracts, complete individual GDS certification processes, or manage multiple technical integrations.

How long does GDS integration take with Tripgic?

Most teams move from sandbox to production in days rather than months. Direct GDS integration typically takes 6-12 months per GDS; Tripgic eliminates that certification queue entirely.

Does Tripgic deduplicate results across GDS sources?

Yes. When the same flight appears in multiple GDS sources, Tripgic deduplicates the results and returns a single entry at the best available price in a normalized JSON format.

What data format does the Tripgic GDS API return?

All responses are returned as normalized JSON regardless of the underlying GDS source — whether the original format was EDIFACT, XML/SOAP, or REST. Your application receives one consistent schema.

Understanding GDS

What is a Global Distribution System?

A GDS is a computerized network that enables travel agencies, OTAs, and booking platforms to access real-time inventory from airlines, hotels, and car rental companies worldwide. The three major GDS networks — Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport — collectively process billions of transactions annually and connect hundreds of airlines to hundreds of thousands of travel sellers globally.

Amadeus

GDS Code: 1E

The world's largest GDS by transaction volume. Headquartered in Madrid, Amadeus powers booking systems for major airlines, travel agencies, and corporations across 190+ markets.

400+ airline participants

Real-time fare & availability

NDC-enabled content

EDIFACT + JSON APIs

Sabre

GDS Code: 1S

Founded from American Airlines' reservation system, Sabre is headquartered in Dallas and serves as the backbone for major North American carriers and global travel agencies.

350+ airline connections

Travelport

GDS Code: 1G / 1V

Operating the Galileo, Apollo, and Worldspan platforms, Travelport provides broad carrier coverage with a focus on modern JSON-based APIs and NDC aggregation.

Why direct GDS integration is painful

Integrating with even one GDS takes months of certification, legal contracts, and engineering. Tripgic removes that friction entirely.

Direct GDS Integration

6–12 months per GDS for certification and go-live

Separate contracts with each GDS — legal, commercial, technical

Three different data formats — EDIFACT, XML/SOAP, REST, each with unique schemas

Ongoing maintenance — version updates, deprecations, compliance changes

Duplicate results across GDS sources need manual deduplication

With Tripgic

Days, not months — sandbox to production in a fraction of the time

One contract — single commercial relationship covers all GDS networks

Normalized JSON — identical response schema regardless of source GDS

Zero maintenance — Tripgic handles GDS updates, version changes, and compliance

Built-in deduplication — same flight from multiple GDS appears once, at best price
