>So I'm guessing that demand for Aeroflot in the GDS systems is tiny at the moment. If I understand it right, the international demand would be low, but I believe even the domestic sales typically go through travel agents that use a GDS. That is, most Aeroflot customers don't buy their tickets online. I'm sure they will find a workaround, but turning off the GDS will affect even domestic sales for a short time. The travel agencies could, of course, do the booking online, but then they don't get the commission. The workaround is probably some way to pay them commission for those kind of sales.
