Sep. 29, 2010 (PR Newswire) --

ATLANTA, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- TRX, Inc. (www.trx.com) (Other OTC: TRXI), a world-leading provider of travel technology, process automation, consulting and data services, provides unique airline merger analysis through its award-winning Travel Analytics consulting and TRX Airline Contract Manager utility, helping corporate travel managers quantify the impact of airline mergers on their travel program.

The planned Southwest Airlines and AirTran Airways merger highlights the potential impact of airline industry changes on corporate travel programs. Typically, corporations leverage negotiated rates as a key element in controlling travel expenses. When mergers occur, the dynamics of those negotiated rates can shift drastically for both corporations and airlines. Understanding how mergers enhance or erode a corporation's negotiating position, intelligence into potential changes in a corporation's preferred airline program or insight into other possible new airline combinations becomes critical to the success of any corporate travel program.
