This type of integration is required when if you want to implement the full booking flow of the customer, including payment and ticketing.
Distribution Rights
You will need to sign a distribution agreement in front of every airline and establish a business relationship with every airline. (another option is AeroCRS Network, where you can get many airlines and commission from us, Click here for more details about AeroCRS Network)

- If the airline accept payments in credit card using the API, you will be able to accept payment on behalf of the airline directly using the API, the payment will go directly to the airline account.
- You and the airline establish a "trust" relationship, allowing you to create payment confirmation directly on the airline accounts (you collect the payment on your side).
