Hahnair has expanded its global partner network, enabling travel agents to book and issue Southwest Airlines flights under HR-169 via Amadeus and Travelport GDSs.
Through the partnership, agents can access all Southwest routes under the WN code and price segments using private fare commands, with HR specified as the validating carrier. The move broadens global GDS access to Southwest, which operates 117 destinations across 11 countries and carried more than 140 million passengers in 2024.
Hahnair also confirmed the addition of new regional partners under the X1 code, including Fanjet Express in East Africa and Sola Air in Northern Europe. The expansion follows a record 29 partner additions in 2025 — the company’s largest annual intake since 2019 — further strengthening booking options for travel agents worldwide.
The updates enhance inventory access, streamline ticketing, and create new itinerary opportunities across domestic, regional, and international markets.
