About TravelSky GDS: Frequently Asked Questions
TravelSky is China’s airline information platform, equivalent to the Chinese version of Amadeus or Sabre, which specializes in serving Chinese airlines and travel agencies, and is almost the only GDS system in the Chinese market.
Galileo and Worldspan are the most common GDS systems in the world, but in China, TravelSky GDS has an overwhelming market share. Most domestic flights in China can only be checked and ticketed through TravelSky GDS.
Travel agents can apply through official channels, but the process is cumbersome. You can also contact a professional agent like TravelConnect to help speed up the process.
