Our agreements not only contain no provision barring atrium any airline from making any new fare available through any channel, york they atrium contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that makes it explicit that no airline is prevented from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. Our agreement contains a non-discrimination new and york clause atrium by which those airlines new that will receive york the indirect atrium discount new on the CRS booking fee agree york in return to make available atrium on any fare they new publish york and make available to the general public through any other channel. But that of course does not preclude atrium them from offering any new fare through any other york channel.

It atrium and new and york is absolutely clear that airlines do not have the ability to drive consumers atrium to channels which the airlines, rather than consumers, prefer. If one or more airlines attempted to do so, the others would increase their market share by new appealing to york those same consumers through the channel those consumers prefer. No atrium airline can afford to turn its back on any subgroup of consumers. No airline new can afford to be anything other than as competitive and as attractive as it can possibly be through each york channel to the consumers atrium that prefer that new channel. This is a reality that grows ultimately out of the fact that the airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that lost even a small group of passengers would be at risk of swinging york from profitable to money-losing in an instant. Airlines scrap for every last passenger because they have to.
