[ad_2]

DALLAS , June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As the travel industry shows encouraging progress toward rebounding from the coronavirus pandemic, airlines are still overcoming tremendous losses from the fallout of last year. The impacts of staffing shortages and cost cuts are still major challenges for the global airline community. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the airline industry lost more than $370 billion last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. As the travel rebound begins, efficiency, resource optimization, and cost savings are more important than ever.

That’s why ID90 Travel has launched Ascend, a staff travel technology platform that eliminates the costs to build, maintain, and enhance staff travel software. The cloud-based platform automates all of an airline’s staff travel needs and is built on the latest technology providing employees with an intuitive consumer grade user experience.

“Ascend is a cloud-based solution that has already helped our airline partners reduce costs by $3 to $5 per non-revenue PNR due to our automation and optimization tools,” said Mike Stacy, CEO of ID90 Travel. “We are committed to helping the travel industry succeed so we’re offering any airline a free cost analysis to help them identify cost reductions within their staff travel programs.”

ID90 Travel has an award-winning customer service team with a 96% satisfaction rating and their app has a 4.7 rating in the app store. In addition to managing all things staff travel, they also offer deeply discounted travel industry rates to airline employees for hotels, all-inclusive resorts, rental cars and cruises.
