SINGAPORE  Cambodia Bayon Airlines has chosen Abacus as its first global distribution system partner to help the airline tap travel agency bookings within Asia.
The multi-year distribution agreement will provide Abacus-connected travel agents across 29 markets with access to all the airline’s fare content.
“In Asia, travel agencies remain a core point-of-sale for customers. Abacus, our first and primary GDS partner is therefore the cornerstone of our strategy to establish a consistent booking network,” said Cambodia Bayon Airlines vice president Bai Wei Dong.
Singapore-based Abacus International serves a network of 20,000 travel agency locations in 31 markets.

The airline flies from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, but has long-term plans to establish flights to China, South Korea and Japan.
Abacus VP Airline Distribution Ho Hoong Mau added: “Abacus channels over 80% of the agency bookings within Cambodia…we are confident that we can accelerate their expansion plans. Just in Q1, our Cambodia business grew another 10%.”
The new carrier will use up to 20 Chinese MA60 aircraft for domestic services and lease an Airbus A320s for future international routes. It is a subsidiary of Bayon Holding Limited, part of Aviation Corporation of China (AVIC) and China Eastern’s Joy Air, based in Hong Kong.
