Consolidation is a means of airline ticket distribution. Although a common practice within the industry, airlines restrict the amount of airline contracts to only a select few to act as Consolidators for them. Consolidation began when airlines, wanting to attract more ethnic business, needed a way to attract the traveler whom their mainstream marketing did not reach. Going directly to the source, airlines provided ethnic travel agencies with Consolidator contracts that allowed them to sell tickets within their communities at deeply discounted prices. With so many ethnic communities located throughout the entire United States, airlines found it easier to contract one agency and allow them to sell the tickets to other travel agencies who desired deeply discounted fares for their customers. What started out as a means to attract ethnic customers has grown into a mass distribution system amounting to billions of dollars in revenue for the airlines each year. Today, Consolidators allow all travel agents a way to offer discount travel to their clients, regardless of their ethnicity. We offer the same airline seat that other distributors offer at savings of more that 40% to 50%. Being one of the largest Consolidators in the United States, Trans Am Travel provides worldwide discounted travel to over 250,000 passengers annually.
While studying in Washington, DC during the late '70's, Pall Kapoor found opportunity in the purchasing and re-selling of airline tickets within his native Indian community. Pall discovered that this part-time means of servicing his community had potential for a full-time business. In 1980, Pall opened Trans American Travel (later changed to Trans Am Travel) in Alexandria, Virginia servicing the Washington Metropolitan area. United Airlines was the first carrier to take a chance with this unknown company, providing Trans Am Travel with a Consolidator contract that initially consisted of discounted airfares for the Asia market. After successfully selling Asia, United Airlines awarded Trans Am Travel with additional contracts to more destinations worldwide. Today, not only is Trans Am Travel one of United Airlines largest Consolidators, they are also the only agency to possess all of United Airline's Consolidator contracts which include Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the South Pacific. Thirty years after it's inception, Trans Am Travel is now partners with 38 different airlines, including Northwest/KLM, Lufthansa, Continental, Air France, Qantas and many more.
