Road Warrior - Lufthansa to charge GDS users, Easyjet uses drones, Hyatt spreads out, Rotten wi-fi

Lufthansa to charge GDS users Lufthansa Airline Group intends to change the cost of booking travel by charging the end-user for the cost of distribution from September 1st.

Travel agents who use global distribution systems (GDS) such as Amadeus, Travelport and Sabre will be charged €16 per booking, which will no doubt be passed on to clients.

Direct bookings on the airline sites will not incur the cost.

Airlines in the group also include Austrian, Swiss and Brussels. EasyJet testing new technologies EasyJet is testing the application of new technologies for the aviation business. Tests have shown automated drones can be used to conduct aircraft inspections after events such as lightning strikes.
