easyJet has renewed its distribution deal with Travelport to distribute products through GDS.
The agreement means the carrier’s fares, including Flexi Fares and Inclusive Fares, will continue to be offered through Galileo, as well as Worldspan and Apollo GDS from later this year.
“We are delighted to have renewed our deal with Travelport – its extensive global footprint provides us with an efficient distribution channel for our popular low-fares including the Inclusive Fare and Flexi Fare, especially to the managed corporate travel market,” said Andy Hodges, easyJet’s director of sales, distribution and business.
The pair have worked together since 2007 with easyJet recently the launch partner of Travelport’s Aggregated Shopping technology allowing agents to search, price and book fares and ancillaries in their usual workflow.
“Both easyJet and Travelport’s sales teams have worked collaboratively over the course of 2013 to ensure that UK agents are fully aware of the availability of easyJet’s content in Travelport. This, combined with our industry-leading aggregated shopping functionality has led to a doubling of easyJet’s volume through Travelport in the UK last year,” said Simon Ferguson, Travelport’s general manager UK & Ireland.
