Easily incentivize travel agencies to follow your distribution priorities.

As an airline, motivating travel agents to follow your sales and distribution priorities can be a challenge. There are multiple obstacles that get in the way of setting attractive incentives and enabling travel agents to be compensated for the efforts they may make.

IATA Global Net Remit 5 (GNR5) overcomes those obstacles, giving you greater control over the process, and simplifying management and payment of supplementary commissions, through the BSP.

  • Automate your incentives on NDC transactions, to increase NDC adoption in any market.
  • Explore the GNR5 services for your direct sales in BSP or non-BSP markets, accredited or non-accredited agents.
  • Apply different commission levels to different ticket segments, to promote routes operated by your airline and reduce your commission costs.
  • Introduce performance targets to your set of incentives.

Better implement your indirect distribution strategy

GNR5 enables you meet your priorities by easily incentivizing the right transactions:

  • Commission NDC transactions, to increase NDC adoption in any market (BSP or non-BSP)
  • Apply different commission levels to different ticket segments, to promote routes operated by your airline and reduce your commission costs.
  • Commission transactions in excess of sales targets, to reward performance.
  • Split incentives between individual travel agencies and the network or group they are part of, to ensure those who work for your airline are properly rewarded.
  • Constantly monitor incentive performance, to adjust your sales strategy based on data.

Easily manage the incentive lifecycle

All deals set between your airline and a travel agency can be captured, stored and centrally monitored in the GNR5 platform. The setup of your existing deals in GNR5 is carried out for you, to ensure you start off on the right foot, and a team of GNR5 experts remain on hand to support you in setting up and monitoring your deals. 

  • View all deal contracts in one place and sort by different criteria. Obtain details with a single click.
  • Easily create new contracts, applying incentives by segment, booking class, fare type, flight number, ancillary codes and many more.
  • Let GNR5 calculate, report and pay – through the BSP – supplementary commissions due.
  • Use GNR5 analytics to assess how well your incentives are working, and whether you need to refine incentive deals.
  • Track present and past sales performance using trends and year-over-year analysis.
  • View KPIs on commissioned tickets, net revenues, O&D, agents, transaction type.

Simplify accounting of incentives

Some 72 airlines already use GNR5. The platform checks BSP-reported sales data against your active incentives. For every transaction that corresponds to an active deal, the supplementary commission is calculated and reported into the IATA BSP settlement cycle, for instant payment to the travel agent (netted from remittance).

  • Incentive amounts are reported daily on Airline HOT and Agent billing analysis.
  • Incentives are paid to agents within the same period in which the tickets have been issued.
  • Incentive amounts are automatically calculated on eligible transactions.
  • Incentive amounts are calculated based on your set conditions with no or limited input  by travel agents.

Over US$191 million of supplementary commissions were paid in 2023, to 10,650 travel agents, representing over 9,75 million tickets incentivized.
