Computer Reservations System (CRS) Regulations

The Department is adopting a rule that will prohibit each computer reservations system (CRS) from adopting or enforcing contract clauses that bar a carrier from choosing a level of participation in that system that would be lower than the carrier's level of participation in any other system, if neither the carrier nor any affiliate of the carrier owns or markets a CRS. The Department believes that this rule is necessary to promote competition in the CRS and airline industries, since the contract clauses at issue unreasonably limit the ability of airlines without CRS interests to choose how to distribute their services through travel agencies. This rule will allow a CRS to enforce such a contract clause against an airline that owns or markets a competing CRS or that has an affiliate that owns or markets a CRS. The Department is acting on a rulemaking petition filed by Alaska Airlines.
