Sim, existe um mercado de "preenchimento de tarifas aéreas"

Tudo parece tão ágil e rápido nesses tempos de alta tecnologia, iPAD's, iPOD's, etc, que não dá para imaginar um mercado onde um intermediário oferece "serviços de preenchimento de tarifas aéreas" para as cias aéreas nos sistemas GDS. Mas existe. Tem a SITA e o ATPCO (principal player), vide notícia.

SITA said it was approved as an electronic fares filing agent by both the US Dept. of Transportation and the Canadian Transportation Agency, becoming just the second approved filing agent after airline-owned ATPCO.
“This marks another important milestone in SITA’s multi-phase strategy to provide airlines with an alternative to the existing fares distribution system in North America, said SITA VP Passenger Solutions Brian Cook, adding, “A number of our customers have been waiting for this approval to enable them to move all their fares data to SITA. We will now actively engage not only with these airlines, but also with the GDSs, OTAs and pricing system providers, to deliver on our promise of an alternative fare filing offering in this region.”
