Ad campaign for Air India announces benefits
of the airline's new reservation system.

Aimed at travel agents across the U.S., our new trade advertising campaign for Air India communicates the key benefit of the airline's recently launched, enhanced reservation system. Namely, that the system makes booking and ticketing Air India flights from the U.S. and Canada to virtually every part of India as easy as it is for their clients to fly there with the airline.

The catalyst for new reservation system was Air India's merger with Indian Airlines, India's largest domestic carrier. The merger resulted in Air India's absorption of Indian Airlines' comprehensive domestic flight network serving over 50 cities across India. Instead of having to book the international and connecting domestic flights separately, the new system enables agents to book and ticket both segments — in one easy step.

In addition to ads in major travel trade publications, the campaign included multiple e-mail blasts to a nationwide database of home based and frontline travel agents, and a press release to all print and online trade media outlets.
