Airpaz has been enhancing its content and services in ASEAN while accelerating global expansion in recent years. Since the partnership with PKFARE in March 2023, Airpaz expected to leverage PKFARE’s extensive global content and competitive pricing to improve offerings and price competitiveness in existing markets and expand into global markets.  

“We’ve greatly benefited from PKFARE’s extensive content coverage and competitive pricing. Additionally, I would rate 5 out of 5 for its tech capability. There has never been any serious issue or error with PKFARE.”

Wesley, Chief Partnership Officer of Airpaz

Leveraging extensive global content coverage, PKFARE faciliates Airpaz’s international expansion

PKFARE is well-positioned to support Airpaz's international expansion by leveraging its competitive content in these regions. PKFARE has supplied Airpaz with tickets covering nearly 1,500 origin and destination countries. In Q2 2024, the volume of US domestic content provided by PKFARE ranked third, Japan domestic content ranked fifth, and Indian domestic content ranked tenth among all routes supplied. Notably, the value of PKFARE's US domestic content supplied to Airpaz doubled from Q1 to Q2 2024.

How did PKFARE achieve this?  

Take US content supply for example, the US domestic contents PKFARE supplied to Airpaz covered most mainstream US airlines. Unlike competitors who focus primarily on low-cost carriers (LCCs), PKFARE provides a broader range of content, including full-service carriers (FSCs), LCCs.

Beside, PKFARE offers various fare types, including NDC, Airline API, and Web fares, catering to diverse content needs. This variety also contributes to PKFARE's price competitiveness. For instance, a significant price gap exists between GDS and NDC fares for an Americas leading carrier, with GDS fares being nearly twice as high as NDC fares. Since PKFARE provides NDC fares, Airpaz can access these price advantages and have higher sales volume.  

Moreover, PKFARE's API response time is the fastest among the suppliers of Airpaz. All these contribute to Airpaz’s strong sales performance through PKFARE.

With Competitive Pricing, PKFARE Empowers Airpaz to Gain Edge in ASEAN

Price competition is particularly intensive in Asia. “PKFARE's pricing has been consistently reliable and competitive.” Wesley said, which has helped Airpaz gain an edge in the ASEAN market.  

PKFARE’s blended multiple sourcing model has enabled competitive pricing, enhancing Airpaz’s rate competitiveness. Over the past year, PKFARE supplied flight tickets to Airpaz from around 130 suppliers and 200+ airlines. Leveraging advanced search engine capabilities, PKFARE screens the best options based on travelers’ needs, ensuring the best rate.  

Additionally, PKFARE supports branded fare displays, enabling it to offer special fares from an select airlines and maintain a competitive edge for Airpaz.  

By Delivering Competitive Local Contents and Quality Services, PKFARE Commits to Support Airpaz's Future Market Expansion

PKFARE is now a top supplier for Airpaz, and the successful collaboration has led Airpaz to extend its relationship with PKFARE to include hotel services starting in Q2 2024.

As Airpaz plans to expand into the European market and increase its traffic in the US in 2025, PKFARE will continue to provide competitive local content and high-quality ticketing services to support Airpaz’s global growth.
