What does an airline consolidator do?
We connect travel agents to low net fares. How? By purchasing airfare in bulk from our 90+ airline partners. Then we pass the savings on to you through our comprehensive booking engine, WINGS.
How do you make travel
agents money?
Sky Bird’s fares are up to 30% lower than published fares. And since we have no commission caps, agents who work with us can set their own markup – effectively taking control of their earnings. You’ll make a profit while still securing a good deal for your clients. Are you a niche agent with no airline contracts? Don’t send clients looking for their own airfare! They’ll be frustrated and you’ll lose commission you could have made. We’ll fix that!
How will you help my business grow?
Sky Bird works closely with our agents to help them thrive. We use our global expertise to assist agents with all of their travel needs. You’ll be able to smooth out any travel wrinkles, and they’ll remember how well you handle things when the next vacation days come around.
All of this gives you an advantage in an ever-increasing competitive field.
Do you offer value apart from airfare?
Yes! We provide the lowest net fares, but that’s not all we do.
Need help managing?
If you’re a home based agent, we can work with you to help manage the stress of dealing with booking things all on your own. If you’re part of large agency, we can help you manage your subagents and negotiate for a higher seat volume than you may otherwise get from an airline.
Booking a large group?
Your clients are counting on you to make sure everyone in the group has a good experience, whether it’s for religious pilgrimages, humanitarian aid, college trips, or athletic events. At Sky Bird, we offer assistance from our dedicated Groups Department. They’ll work closely with you to ensure everyone pays the same low price and all personal considerations are met.
Need a customized tour?
Our tours division, Sky Vacations, has a vast array of land packages, cruises, river cruises, and more. And they’re all commissionable to agents and fully customizable. Just tell us exactly what your clients are looking for, and we’ll do the rest!
