Recently launched openjet.com is using OpenJaw’s technology to provide independent consolidation between Europe’s low cost airlines. It supports searching through to booking of over 500 flights daily to more than 70 airports on multiple low cost airlines.

Openjet’s unique advantage is in allowing travelers to combine flights from one or more low cost airlines, to create complex itineraries covering city combinations not supported directly by a low cost airline. In addition, the customer can book all flights in one step without having to visit the individual airline sites to make their bookings. OpenJaw's innovative middleware technology, xDistributor, forms the technology backbone of this unique solution.

Pat O’Shea, Managing Director, Openjet said “OpenJaw’s end-to-end XML product suite has enabled us to develop our business with innovative technology that offers greater reliability, shorter development times and reduced cost of ownership compared to more traditional technology. Our plan today is to add four more airlines by the end of the year and using OpenJaw’s software we know that this can be achieved quickly, easily and cost effectively.”

Sean MacRoibeaird, OpenJaw’s Chief Architect said “xDistributor’s advanced data translation engine allowed us to quickly develop OpenTravel™ Alliance (OTA) XML interfaces to Europe's low cost airlines. xDistributor’s XML switching and aggregation provides simultaneous search against these airlines and its XML Rules Engine puts Openjet in control of their business, determining which suppliers receive a request, filtering and sorting responses.”

xDistributor, with its integrated Business Rules Engine, allows websites to simultaneously search multiple suppliers, aggregate the responses and apply business rules to reflect business relationships. It allows travel companies to adapt quickly to changing market conditions without programming changes. Additional suppliers can be added easily, quickly and cost effectively and different sets of rules can be applied to each supplier and each distribution channel.
