Turkish firm K Plus, which provides comprehensive software solutions to over 200 tourism professionals in 20 countries, has become one of the global solution partners for international airline Emirates. This collaboration with K Plus, which combines all imaginable tourism services with rapid integration processes, will enable Emirates to reach a broader market and millions of passengers.
“We are proud to be a global solution partner for Emirates as a 100% local company,” said K Plus. “We hope these innovations will reflect as satisfaction for our customers and business partners.”
The travel industry is one of the sectors most affected by the rapid pace of digital transformation. With over 1.3 billion people moving from one place to another worldwide, the digital tourism market is rapidly growing. Fast integration between processes is becoming increasingly important for tourism and airline companies.
In response to this need, Turkish technology companies producing innovative software solutions are gaining more visibility in the global market. K Plus, established with 100% local capital, has signed another global collaboration by becoming one of Emirates’ solution partners. Under this partnership, K Plus will offer a wide range of solutions to Emirates, from airline NDC systems to hotel and tour operator APIs. This will establish a bridge between all operators and travel services with Emirates.
K Plus Chairman Kadri Ciga, noting that this collaboration allows Emirates to access a wide market and reach thousands of travel agencies and millions of passengers, expressed their pride in being a solution partner to a global airline and shared their story: “K Plus stood out among Emirates’ other global collaborations because it quickly integrated technological innovations into its software and provided sector-specific solutions. We are proud to be the only Turkish initiative among the 30 companies Emirates chose as solution partners worldwide. Since our establishment, K Plus has rapidly grown and expanded. Today, we serve over 200 tourism professionals in Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Iraq, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, France, Spain, and Germany. In 2023, we updated our software with technological innovations, increasing our global reach. Our goal for 2024 is to establish more global collaborations, strengthen our position in the industry, and enhance user experience by adding new features to our software.”
Emirates Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria Regional Manager Mehmet Gürkaynak commented on the K Plus partnership: “Rapid implementation of technological innovations and NDC (New Distribution Capability), one of the hottest topics in the aviation sector, are crucial for Emirates. Our partners can access the NDC channel in three ways: via Emirates’ own ticketing interface, the Emirates Gateway Portal, through an accredited technology partner, or directly through their system connected to Emirates’ infrastructure. Last September, our airline removed some fare groups from GDSs (Global Distribution Systems), offering the relevant fare and content exclusivity only to NDC users. In our country, with an average monthly international sales traffic of 120 million USD, it is important for us to have a local technology partner alternative to ensure our end-users can best present all Emirates content to their customers. K Plus completed all technological infrastructure integrations and certifications last year to become Emirates’ Corporate NDC Technology Partner. We congratulate the K Plus team for their success in software development and the progress made in technology, and sincerely hope these innovations reflect as satisfaction for our customers and business partners.”
Faster integration, accurate data processing, end-to-end secure transparent booking
Highlighting that digital tourism is expected to grow by 25% by 2025, K Plus Chairman Kadri Ciga emphasized the essential importance of technological investments for tourism and airline companies: “With our rapid integration processes and cost-effective solutions, we enable our partners to offer various services from different sources such as flight tickets, accommodation, tours, and car rentals as a single travel package to their customers. Our systems not only provide access to additional services like extra baggage and meal selection but also manage post-ticketing functions such as cancellations and changes, with the ability to report them. These technological solutions add operational efficiency and guest satisfaction as added value to brands in the tourism sector. Faster and more accurate data processing improves decision-making processes, provides quick access to services, increases data accuracy by reducing manual error rates, and contributes positively to the sustainability of brands with end-to-end secure transparent booking and enhanced payment systems.”
