The Gujarat High Court on November 27 granted ad-interim relief to petitioner Vihar Travel Consultancy after it had moved court seeking a stay on Air India's move to shift to a single single global distribution system platform for tickets by December 4. The court has fixed November 29 as the next date of hearing.
Travel bodies have vehemently opposed Air India's move to move to a single distribution system. Air India has made the decision to have a single global distribution system (GDS) for all points of sale in India. The GDS selected is operated by Travelport, and distributed by Indian partner, InterGlobe Technology Quotient (ITQ).
Moneycontrol was the first to report that Air India was moving to a single global distribution system despite strong objections made by three top officials.
The petitioner said that it is practically impossible for travel agents to complete the migration process before December 4.
