Centrum Air Launches Direct Agency Sales with Turna Gate API Integration

Centrum Air, Uzbekistan’s largest private airline, has officially enabled direct access for travel agencies to book its airfares and ancillary services directly from its host system. This strategic move gives agents access to the airline’s full content while helping Centrum Air reduce distribution costs and increase control over its sales channels. To power its direct distribution strategy, the airline has integrated Turna Gate API.

Turna Gate API is a modern solution developed by TurnaTech, an aviation IT provider based in Uzbekistan and a resident of IT Park Uzbekistan. The platform enables secure, real-time integration between the airline’s inventory and agents, allowing them to search, book, sell tickets and ancillary services without GDS commission fees. It also supports automated exchanges and refunds, enhancing the passenger experience while easing pressure on airline and agency call centers.

“TurnaTech’s technology gives airlines the tools to reduce distribution costs, establish transparent and mutually beneficial relationships with agents, and improve the end-to-end service for travelers. We’re proud that Centrum Air is putting its trust in a local tech partner and investing in a direct distribution future,” said Hanan Lokshin, CEO of TurnaTech.

Travel agencies interested in connecting to Centrum Air’s direct distribution platform are invited to submit their request directly to the airline.
