How to implement a Block Space Code Share?
April 28th 2016, AF KK IST meeting

2. AF/KK Block Space – Pre requisites 1/2
Route: CDG/IST/CDG
Operating / Marketing flight numbers to be defined and loaded in test system
Example of block space flight availability in 1A GDS:
1 WX J9 W9 S9 A9 Y9 B9 M9 /ORY W LCY E0/AR8
U9 K9 H9 L9 Q9 T7
2WX:AF5076 J9 W9 S9 A9 Y9 B9 M9 /ORY W LCY E0/AR8
U9 K9 H9 L9 Q9 T9 E9 N9 R9 V9 X9 GR
Stations involved:
CDG / IST = AF Operating flight handled by Altea DCS in Control Method
CDG / IST = KK Operating flight handled by Sirena? In which Method? By which Ground handler?

3. AF/KK Block Space – Pre requisites 2/2
Check-in: block space testing focuses on check-in operations and update of coupon status. Check-ins should be done with both DCS in the following situations:
Sirena DCS IST station:
KK Operating / AF* Marketing = 057 issuances on marketing flight
Altea DCS in CDG station:
AF Operating / KK* Marketing = 610 issuances on marketing flight
Ground Handler DCS in CDG station? testing needed if Ground Handling agreement

4. AF/KK Block Space – Control Method process
Process in place in Altea DCS:
In the DCS, at Marketing PNL reception, the DCS takes the control of all coupons. The coupon status becomes “Airport control” meaning “A” status. Then the coupons are checked-in without information to the Operating carrier.
At flight closure, the DCS sends the Flown message and ETL to the Operating carrier which can update its tickets in its own eT database.

5. AF/KK Block Space – Passenger Name List
PNL: At H-50 before flight departure, the Marketing airline has to send its PNL to the Operating airline. Thus Incoming and Outgoing PNL ‘s TTY addresses should be updated in Inventory in test system.
Incoming PNL for the reception of Marketing PNL: AF=MUCPPAF - KK=to be advised
Outgoing PNL for sent of PNL to the Operating airline: AF=MUCPPAF-KK=to be advised
Marketing PNL:

6. IET workflow for AF Marketing/ KK Operating flight – Edifact messages
AF/KK Block Space – Workflow
IET workflow for AF Marketing/ KK Operating flight – Edifact messages
COS 142 message:
KK as Operating Carrier will include a three-digit numeric Airline Accounting Code of the Billing Carrier (i.e.057 as Marketing Carrier) in the COS (Change Of Status) message to FLOWN to the Validating Carrier.
The Validating Carrier will generate a SAC code (Settlement Authorisation) to the Billing Carrier (i.e. AF as Marketing Carrier) received in the COS message and return this in the response to KK as Operating Carrier.
UAC SAC info message when Validating carrier is different from Marketing carrier:
When the SAC code has been received by the Operating carrier in the COS message response, it will be the responsibility of the Operating Carrier to send an Info UAC with all the ticket information (including the SAC received) needed by the Marketing Carrier to be able to create the Interline invoice to the Validating Carrier. E.G DL 006 ticket on AF*/KKopt
IET workflow for KK Marketing/AF Operating flight = same process as above

7. AF/KK Block Space – Workflow
Double TVL:
AF as Validating carrier expects to receive Cos 142 with double TVL segments from KK as Operating carrier:
1st TVL includes Marketing carrier code + flight number and flight data
2nd TVL includes Operating carrier code + flight number and flight data
 Example: TVL CDG+HAN+AF+5096:Y++2' Marketing information TVL CDG+HAN+:VN+18:Y++2' Operating information

8. AF/KK Block Space – Test scenarios
Test cases: AF is used to perform the following check-in cases:
Adult + INF
Offload
Go Show
Quota Transfer from AF Operating  KK Marketing
KK Operating  AF Marketing
Quota transfer agreement is linked to code share agreement. When a block is full, then a passenger can be moved from one block to the other one, if space is still available. Meaning by example the transfer of coupon from AF Marketing to KK Operating will be allowed and will implied a financial transfer to KK via sac code 610.

9. AF/KK Block Space – Block Space revenue
At Flown reception each coupon should receive the correct SAC code according to the block on which it has been checked-in:
KK Marketing = 610
AF Marketing = 057
Quota Transfer coupon:
By example 610 coupon is transferred to AF block (which is available). The passenger will be listed in the ETL with .M/ . At Flown process 610 coupon will receive a 057 SAC code then it will be in AF revenue.
Third carrier validating coupon:
By example 006 coupon uplifted on KK block as Operating carrier will received a SAC code 610 at Flown reception. Then KK will invoice DL for this coupon as the current Interline billing process.
During UAT (User Acceptance Test) AF requires a validation from Revenue Accounting team to know if the coupons will be correctly integrated into the billing process.

10. AF/KK Block Space – Post Departure messages
ETL - Electronic Ticketing List = list of passengers checked-in with e-tkts
AF as Marketing carrier expects to receive ETL with “.M/” remark when coupon has been checked-in on Marketing flight , from KK as Operating carrier.
