Flight consolidator API

AERTiCKET API integration for agencies that sell net fares

AERTiCKET is a Berlin flight consolidator that gives travel agencies access to consolidated air content and net fares. If your agency has an AERTiCKET contract, PHPTRAVELS builds a custom connector to its Cockpit API so those fares show, price and book inside your own flights module, beside the suppliers you already use.

The supplier

Who AERTiCKET is and why agencies connect to it

AERTiCKET started in Berlin and has grown into a consolidator group that sells airline tickets to travel agencies, tour operators and online portals. Its Cockpit platform and Cockpit API bring together fares from the global distribution systems, airline NDC channels and direct connections, including negotiated net fares that are not public.

In recent years the group has bought consolidators in other markets, such as Biletbank in Turkey, Inca Tickets in Scandinavia and Servivuelo in Spain. For an agency, the value is simple: one contract, one API and fares you can mark up and resell under your own brand.

FAQ

Questions about the AERTiCKET API

What agencies ask before they plan an AERTiCKET integration.

Talk to sales

No. AERTiCKET is not in the list of native suppliers today. PHPTRAVELS builds the connector for you as a custom integration once you have an AERTiCKET agreement and API access.

No. PHPTRAVELS is a software company. Your contract, fares and ticketing terms are between your agency and AERTiCKET; we build and support the software side.

AERTiCKET works with travel agencies, tour operators and online travel businesses. Whether your agency qualifies, and on what terms, is decided by AERTiCKET.

AERTiCKET returns the fare your contract gives you. PHPTRAVELS adds your markup rules by route, airline or channel, so the website and each sub-agent see the price you set.

Yes. The connector is one supplier in the flights module, so its fares appear in the same results as your other connected flight suppliers.

It depends on the scope you choose and how quickly test access and certification move. We give you a plan and a quote after we have read the API documentation for your account.
