More or less immediate for a trial period running a few weeks/months.

Yup.

There are a few major platforms and some smaller players as well. Most of the systems have APIs exposed in one form or another so this sort of thing is possible. You're not coding directly against the PSS or having to rebuild every time but there are differences in the systems you have to integrate with depending on the airline.
