About

An operator, not a slide-deck consultant

I'm Fazla, Business Lead for OTA Strategy & Revenue in the CEO Office at NZ World Tours & Travels (mynztrip.com and mynztrip.biz), a Malaysian B2B travel-tech company.

I started at the GDS terminal: quoting fares, ticketing, and fixing broken PNRs. Today I architect GDS, NDC and LCC integrations, pricing logic, payments and supplier deals. So when we talk about your distribution, we talk in PNRs, fare bases and settlement files, not theory.

I'm also a PhD candidate at Universiti Kuala Lumpur researching consumer trust and booking behaviour on OTAs, after an MBA from University Geomatika Malaysia.
