When the GDSs initially appeared, they were owned by the network airlines. During this time, airlines made sure that the displays highlighted their own inventory at the expense of their competitors. The Justice Department eventually abolished this practice and then the airlines sold off their GDS subsidiaries. Once free, the GDSs became a tight oligopoly and took advantage of their former parents by overcharging on bookings fees. These charges increased distribution costs for suppliers and contributed to a weakened financial condition at the airlines. The GAO found that the GDSs did overcharge but since there were alternative bookings sources, this was not an anti-competitive action.
