After getting installation
of Gds you need to contact all the airlines you need to sell. After fulfilling
the requirement of airlines which normally are:
>REQUEST LETTER (LETTER TO PROVIDE STOCK (CAPPING) ON COMPANY LETTER HEAD)>PROVIDING BANK GUARANTTE (COPY OF BANK GUARANTEE PROVIDED TO IATA)>CAPPING FORM (CAPPING FORM IS SPECIMEN WHICH IS USES IN ALL AIRLINES TO GET THE NUMBER OF TICKETS ON SPECIFIC GDS FOR REPORTING PERIOD).

Airlines policy to provide capping (stock) to travel agent varies but the
exposure tell us that the airline which belongs to country you are doing
business provides more capping then any of other.

will have more capping of Emirates Airline than any other Airline.
