In an interview, ATPco CEO Brett Burgess discussed the company's role as the global distributor of airfares. He touched upon the changing landscape of the industry and the need to rethink how the system is funded, suggesting the current model is outdated.
“ATPco is the distributor of airfares worldwide.”
“It's a complicated business that is vitally important, and it's a business that's changing in big ways.”
“Because it's based on a pretty old model. And, um, that's something that we have to think about, what does that cost get absorbed?”
