Dear Valued Partner,

As Turkish Airlines, we would like to share an important update regarding the new distribution cost recovery fee that will be applied to reservations made through GDS EDIFACT channels. With the launch of our NDC-based new distribution channel, TKCONNECT, as of October 1, 2024, an additional fee of 24 USD (or the equivalent in local currency) per ticket will be applied to all reservations made via GDS EDIFACT channels. However, no additional fees will be applied to ticketing transactions made through our other distribution channels such as TKCONNECT UI, TKCONNECT API, TKCONNECT Aggregators, Quickres, Troya, Websagent, Kolaybilet, the Turkish Airlines website, and mobile app.

We highly value your partnership and your efforts to adapt to the innovations in our industry. In this regard, we are pleased to inform you that the majority of our agencies have successfully integrated into the TKCONNECT system. You can easily access our advantageous content through TKCONNECT UI, TKCONNECT API, TKCONNECT Aggregators, and other direct channels (Quickres, Troya, Websagent, Kolaybilet, Turkish Airlines website, and mobile app).

Our EDIFACT content will continue to be available through our contracted GDS EDIFACT channels (Amadeus, Travelport, Hitit, Travelsky, Infini, Sirena), with the aforementioned additional fee of 24 USD (or the equivalent in local currency) applied.

For more information about TKCONNECT and to stay updated on the latest announcements, please visit our TKCONNECT website or contact Turkish Airlines sales offices.

As Turkish Airlines, we are committed to advancing with firm steps to align our content with modern standards and simplify processes in collaboration with our partners. We would like to thank you, our valued partners, for your contributions during this process.
