Connect PKFare directly to your travel platform and launch a production-ready flight booking solution without spending months on integration.
Sopra Travel Technology helps travel companies integrate PKFare direct API, complete the required certification process, and deploy customized B2B or B2C airline reservation portals.
With our existing airline reservation architecture and travel distribution expertise, we can complete PKFare direct API integration and certification in as little as 2 weeks for suitable projects.
Already PKFare certified? We can deploy a dedicated, customized flight booking portal in as little as 1 week, subject to project scope and access readiness.
PKFare integration is more than connecting an API and displaying flight results.
A successful airline booking operation needs a complete journey covering:
Flight Search → Availability → Fare & Pricing → Fare Rules → Passenger Details → Booking → Payment → Ticketing → Cancellation/Changes → Back Office → Reporting
Sopra Travel Technology develops the technology around this complete booking lifecycle.
Our approach is particularly suited to travel businesses looking to build or extend B2C flight booking websites, B2B travel agent portals, corporate booking platforms and API-driven travel distribution systems.
Rather than treating PKFare as an isolated API connection, we integrate it into a broader travel technology architecture designed around your business model.
We have recently completed a PKFare direct API integration and certification project in approximately 2 weeks, covering the integration and certification workflow required to take the solution toward production.
For clients who are already PKFare certified, our existing reservation technology can accelerate deployment further.

Already certified with PKFare?
We can focus on the technology implementation and launch a dedicated, branded airline reservation portal around your existing PKFare access.
This can include:
Your certification is already in place. We concentrate on getting your booking platform operational.
Build a direct-to-consumer flight booking experience designed around the customer journey.
Our B2C implementations can support:
The objective is simple:
Make the path from search to confirmed booking as clear and frictionless as possible.
For travel agencies, consolidators and businesses distributing flight inventory to agents, the requirements are different.
A B2B implementation can support:
The platform can be designed around your commercial model rather than forcing your business into a generic booking template.
If your business already works with GDSs or other airline content providers, PKFare can be incorporated into the broader architecture.
Sopra's travel technology experience includes working with GDS and airline distribution integrations, allowing different content sources to be managed within a structured reservation architecture.
This creates the possibility of building a platform where your business can evolve from:
Single Supplier → Multiple Suppliers → Unified Search → Unified Booking → Centralized Order Management
without rebuilding the entire travel platform every time another supplier is introduced.
One of our key strengths is that we don't approach API integration as a standalone development exercise.
We understand the technology behind the complete reservation lifecycle.
Connect the customer's search request with PKFare and process available flight content into a usable booking experience.
Handle fare responses, pricing information, rules and the necessary validation before booking.
Manage passenger information, booking creation and the relevant reservation workflow.
Connect the booking journey through to ticketing and confirmation processes supported by the supplier.
Build the operational workflows required after the sale, including booking retrieval and supported cancellation/change processes.
Give your team the visibility and controls required to manage bookings, transactions and operations.
The API is the connection. The reservation platform is the product.
Travel APIs behave differently from conventional business APIs.
Flight availability changes constantly. Fares can change between search and booking. Supplier responses need to be interpreted correctly. Booking and ticketing workflows have operational consequences.
Our experience is therefore focused not only on API connectivity, but on building real travel booking systems around supplier APIs.
Our technology portfolio already covers GDS and travel distribution integrations. PKFare can therefore be incorporated into an architecture designed specifically for travel rather than treated as an isolated software integration.
We understand the complete journey from search to ticketing and post-booking operations.
The same underlying travel technology expertise can be applied to direct consumer booking websites, agent portals and API-driven distribution platforms.
We build around your commercial model, supplier strategy and operational requirements, not simply around the API documentation.
A well-structured supplier integration should make the next supplier easier to introduce, not force another complete redevelopment.
Depending on your requirements, Sopra can deliver:
| Solution | Suitable For |
|---|---|
| B2C Flight Booking Website | Online travel agencies & direct sellers |
| B2B Agent Portal | Travel agents & sub-agents |
| Corporate Booking Portal | Corporate travel programs |
| Flight Booking Engine | Travel businesses needing a booking core |
| Supplier Integration Layer | Businesses combining multiple content sources |
| Custom Airline Reservation Portal | New or existing travel brands |
| API Distribution Platform | Businesses distributing flight content to partners |
| Existing Portal Integration | Businesses adding PKFare to an existing platform |
A common mistake in travel technology is building every supplier integration as a completely independent project.
We prefer a more scalable approach.
Your travel platform should have a core reservation and order architecture, while suppliers remain independently managed behind an integration layer.
That allows your business to progressively introduce additional sources of flight content without rebuilding the customer-facing platform.

PKFare API integration connects a travel company's website, booking engine or reservation platform with PKFare's flight distribution services so that the business can access supported flight content and reservation functionality directly through an API.
