The development of airlines' global distribution systems is in an interesting stage of evolution. Currently airline industry is defining new protocols that are to profit from utilization of the state-of-the-art technology such as agent systems. In the meantime we are developing an agent-based Travel Support System (TSS), with a goal of providing passengers with more personalized information in regard to the desired journey. Obviously, the TSS, to realize its goals must be able to communicate with various (airline) global distribution systems (GDS)s. In this paper we are presenting our initial attempt of utilizing new trends emerging in the airline industry while developing a communication channel between the TSS and GDSs.
