Some bigger airlines might have these fees reduced, but for small airlines, the price is prohibitive.
Fly Corporate have done so using Hahn Air: "New Australian airline Fly Corporate enters the GDS world under H1 code".

I have no idea of the cost but you would think that it is a fairly fundamental business requirement for a RPT operator of Jetgo's ambition.
