IATA BSP Consolidator System (IBCS)

IBCS

TAL Aviation is a worldwide GSA organization with presence in Europe, Middle East, Asia and Pacific.  TAL Aviation was established in 1987 and as of Spring 2011 has been appointed by IATA as an IBCS Consolidator throughout our global network. 

Objectives of the IBCS product

The IBCS programme provides an opportunity for scheduled airlines to participate in previously “marginal" BSP markets, with negligible capital investment.

The system is especially geared for established airlines that seek to develop incremental revenues from marginal markets, and for start-up  carriers that wish to widen their distribution reach at low cost.

This system complements the regular BSP participation model. It allows both large and small carriers with lower volumes in a particular BSP market to gain  the benefits of a BSP, but without the  sometimes comparatively high upfront  joining fee.

The joining procedure / paperwork is facilitated by the local office of  TAL Aviation in each BSP country and/or territory.
