I dont understand how a combined booking system will help, Condor pax ex
Germany will not really want to non interline connect to MAN when there are
plenty of local options for departures
They have done a lot more than just 'slap a codeshare on it', so to speak.
-Back office functions of TCX/TCW and DE have now been 'merged', so he business is more streamlined.
-GDS availability means that TCX seats can now be viewed on things such as Amadeus and Sabre, thus appearing on more 'flight comparison sites', and thus in turn leads to more awareness. TCX is now not just purely a charter airline, but a quasi charter/scheduled one, similar to Jet2 and Monarch.
-Airline being run as more of a 'stand alone business' now, so the holiday arm, whilst will still account for a large number of seats, has less influence over the airline, so that the airline can run whats profitable for them, and not just fits the needs of the holiday business.
