Travelport, AirAsia India sign distribution agreement
New Delhi/Singapore, Nov 4 (IBNS): Travelport, a leading Travel Commerce Platform providing distribution, technology, payment and other solutions for the $7 trillion global travel and tourism industry, on Tuesday announced a new distribution agreement with AirAsia India which will see the carrier distribute all of its fares and ancillary services through Travelport’s Travel Commerce Platform.
Travelport-connected agents are already able to book flights and ancillaries from four other carriers under the AirAsia Group – AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia X, Indonesia AirAsia, and Thai AirAsia. The new agreement means that, through Travelport’s aggregated shopping technology – one of the key components of the Travelport Merchandising Platform – travel agents will also be able to shop, compare and book AirAsia India flights and popular extras alongside those offered by traditional carriers in the same booking workflow, the company said in a statement.
Commenting on the partnership, AirAsia India CEO Mittu Chandilya said, “We are pleased to become the latest carrier within the AirAsia Group to distribute our flights via Travelport, enabling us to expand our network as part of our growth strategy.”
Damian Hickey, Vice President of Global Distribution Sales and Services, Asia-Pacific, Travelport, said, “India is a key region for Travelport and we are delighted to have AirAsia India on board. I am confident that they will increase their bookings and generate more brand awareness as their offering becomes available on more than 67,000 travel agency desktops worldwide.”
