SkyLinka
SkyLinka Airline Direct

Distribute your airline with SkyLinka

A working distribution and fulfilment workspace built for African and regional airlines. Start through the portal without an API, manage each request directly, and add technical integrations when both sides are ready.

Start airline onboarding Open Partner Hub

Create an account, open an Airline partner profile, and submit your operating evidence for manual review. Registration alone never activates distribution.

Available now

Built and available today

The Airline Direct workspace is already part of the SkyLinka Partner Hub, with controlled access and no automatic publication.

Airline onboarding and review

Create an Airline partner profile, provide AOC or operating-licence evidence, and follow a manual review process.

Routes and scheduled flights

Maintain routes, scheduled flight details, service status and operational timing in the portal.

Fares and capacity

Manage fare products, baggage and change terms, sale windows, seat capacity and available units.

Booking request workflow

See requests assigned to your airline, including only the passenger display names needed for that request, then confirm or reject with a reason.

Controlled ticket fulfilment

Record the airline booking reference and support ticketing with an e-ticket number or the original airline-issued carrier document.

Travel records for customers

After valid ticket evidence, SkyLinka creates its own itinerary record while preserving the original carrier document separately in My Trips.

Three ways to connect

Available now

Request & Confirm

Available now. SkyLinka sends a booking request; your airline reviews availability and confirms or rejects it. Airline-controlled stock is never presented as guaranteed.

Available now

Managed Allotment

Available now. Define controlled availability in the portal. Seat holds and confirmation use protected capacity controls that prevent negative inventory.

By agreement

API / NDC

A future integration path by commercial and technical agreement. Direct API or NDC adapters, provider automation and bulk CSV import are not presented as active.

How a booking works

Each stage stays explicit so a request cannot be mistaken for a confirmed or ticketed journey.

  1. 01

    Inventory or request

    A controlled allotment is held, or an availability request is sent to the airline.

  2. 02

    Airline decision

    The airline confirms or rejects the request and records its decision.

  3. 03

    Ticket evidence

    The airline adds its booking reference and either an e-ticket number or original carrier document.

  4. 04

    Travel Document

    Only then is the SkyLinka Travel Document created as an itinerary and booking record.

  5. 05

    My Trips

    The customer sees a safe status view and the documents available for their own booking.

Payment and settlement configuration is activated only by commercial agreement. This page does not claim that SkyLinka airline payment settlement is live.

Compliance before distribution

Airline Direct fails closed: a profile is not enough to open inventory or issue a travel document.

  • Airline partner onboarding uses the existing identity and business review process.
  • Required AOC or operating-licence evidence must be verified and in date.
  • Airline teams access only the operational records assigned to their approved partner profile.
  • Fulfilment decisions are recorded in an immutable audit history.
  • Expired evidence, suspension or failed readiness closes distribution rather than leaving it open.
  • Partner documents, booking data and ticket evidence remain private and access-controlled.
