}Why Airhux
Direct GDS access means accreditation, bank guarantees, long contracts and certification before you sell a single ticket. Airhux removes those barriers.
Start without airline accreditation. Tickets are issued through our accredited office, so you can focus on selling.
GDS contracts and certification can take months. With Airhux you get access quickly and start integrating right away.
Richer NDC fares and ancillaries, full-service GDS content and low-cost carriers — through a single integration.
Pay for bookings from a prepaid wallet instead of BSP/ARC settlement and bank guarantees.
Clean REST/JSON endpoints, API keys, usage limits and webhooks — no legacy SOAP or cryptic host commands.
Our team helps you integrate, go live and handle booking issues with airlines.
