In terms of how many agents have been attracted from GDS to sell seats on its direct platform，To date, the 188bet online casino games Group has not disclosed any relevant figures。But at today’s 188bet online casino games Group 2015 Financial Report Press Conference，Said Carsten Sphor, Chairman of the Board and CEO，Since the beginning of GDS distribution fee，The combined impact on the group’s financial results is “neutral”。

"The additional costs associated with 188bet online casino games have resulted in reduced bookings in some markets，But we got these bookings in other markets”，Although no number is given，Spohr said consumption by charging GDS points，Lufthansa Group has successfully reduced GDS costs，Also increased income。

What’s interesting is that 188bet online casino games fee has been charged since last year，Lufthansa’s external statement has changed slightly - at that time Lufthansa said that the main reason for introducing 188bet online casino games fee was to reduce the cost of distribution through GDS。Spohr said，188bet online casino games charge “has little to do with costs or revenue”，“It’s actually a strategic issue – for an airline like ours，How to create a new distribution model in the future？”

The Lufthansa Group has made no secret of its plans to invest in direct contact with its customers，Spohr added，“We need and intend to have direct connections with our passengers，Direct connection to our customers，Direct connection to our enterprise customers，In 188bet online casino games way, we can make full use of the data given to us by our customers。”

"Of course，Data usage will be different (than now)，We analyze based on customer data，Recommend carefully organized products to customers。If there is no data，None of 188bet online casino games can be done。So 188bet online casino games is much more than just reducing costs，188bet online casino games is about strategic direction - creating the future sales channels we want，And we are quite optimistic about the final result。”

Spohr admits to having some pretty "emotional" opinions about fees，But he still insists that the timing of charging is correct，And the market is ready for 188bet online casino games change。He said other airlines are preparing to follow 188bet online casino games strategy。Although no airline has publicly stated its intention to charge consumption points，But there has been no public criticism of Lufthansa’s approach。

On the other hand，In a heated discussion at last year’s CAPA conference in Helsinki，Svend Leirvaag, Vice President of Industry Affairs at Amadeus asked，In 188bet online casino games case if other airlines follow closely，It will form a chain reaction，It is a naked challenge to regulatory agencies。Because 188bet online casino games will inevitably make airlines outside the existing regulatory framework，Such as the current "EU CRS Code of Conduct"。At a recent IATA meeting in the United States，Lufthansa recommends that other airlines take joint action，He said，"Theoretically" 188bet online casino games behavior is market collusion among airlines。Using 188bet online casino games vocabulary illustrates the intensity of the discussion，Then Leirvaag emphasized again and again，188bet online casino games so-called chain reaction and any misinterpretation of regulatory rules are pure fantasy。

Murray Harrold：The portal provided by Lufthansa for agents is quite good，No problem in using it。That’s why the group provides a portal for each of its airlines？If a certain itinerary has one segment per family，Do you need to book 5 times on 5 websites?，How expensive is 188bet online casino games？Can these portals be combined?，Looks like a GDS or something？

Justin Hall：Amadeus seems very anxious，Using "CRS specifications" as a shield，Also conspired。。。Already smell the smell of despair

Christian Ljungström：I strongly agree with 188bet online casino games’s approach，Let more airlines collect GDS points together with 188bet online casino games

JT Warner：There are detailed data in Lufthansa Group’s annual report - maybe the CFO/CEO did not explain it verbally at the press conference。FY2015，ASK (available seat kilometers) increase by 2.2%，RSK (revenue seat kilometers) growth 2.7%，Indicates that the passenger load factor increased by 0.3% (to record high 80.4%，Despite multiple union actions throughout the year)。What about income？PAG Group revenue increased by 5.1%。How can 188bet online casino games be called "neutral"？Annual report display，Monthly profit growth 2.1%，RASK growth 2.6%。Words used in your blog，As in "claim"，"Controversy"，Quite misleading。For shareholders，Income growth cannot be called "neutral"。Also，Why didn’t you mention that other airlines (Qatar, etc.) have announced the collection of GDS points？Oh，Maybe you need to use Google Translate to read Spanish，French，Korean, etc.。Lufthansa Group plans to distribute 0 dividends per share.The fact of 5 euros is proved again，What a perfect time to start collecting GDS points at the end of the 2015 summer peak season，188bet online casino games is an industry innovation！Well done to Lufthansa！

Author’s reply:JT，Thanks (again) for the anonymous comment。About your point: the word "neutral" was said by Carsten Spohr，Not me，If you don’t believe me, you can listen to the interview recording。。。As for "controversial"，For the things that caused huge controversy between two extreme opinions，What word should be used？The response from the entire industry has been enthusiastic，Various，The dispute has not been resolved yet。All of 188bet online casino games is controversial，We will continue to use 188bet online casino games word。Thank you for your suggestion about Google Translate，188bet online casino games is the first time we have heard of such a thing。There is also a word called "tax"，We used 188bet online casino games word in previous articles about GDS consumption，I hope you won’t be confused。
