Orbitz Worldwide has signed a new long-term technology deal with Travelport and Amadeus as part of a new multi-GDS strategy.
The online travel agency has updated its Travelport agreement it has held for more than seven years to fit to current distribution trends.
This will see the company upgrade to Travelport Universal API and access more travel content.
Orbitz will work with Amadeus for its North American brands in a multi-year deal.
“The wider range of travel content will include improved descriptive information on the airline products on offer, airline fares families, ancillary products (such as paid seats and other merchandising), as well as a much broader range of hotel content,” explained Travelport’s chief commercial officer Kurt Ekert.
Scott Gutz, president and CEO, Amadeus North America said: “This new agreement is a major milestone for Amadeus in North America. It supports our unique investment and dedicated focus in the online travel sector and our overall expanding footprint in the region.”
