Singapore-based low-cost carrier Scoot has committed to offering its fares to the travel trade, by signing a distribution agreement with Amadeus.

The new long-term content agreement will give Amadeus-connected travel agents access to the same fares, availability and functionality as any other travel agency content channel. It also extends Amadeus’ reach into the low-cost sector, following the GDS company’s recent tie-up with Tigerair.

“We are working tirelessly to expand our LCC content to offer the best, most relevant content for our travel agency customers. This is one step among many to deliver more budget air travel options via our network in the region,” added Angel Gallego, president of Amadeus Asia Pacific.

Scoot’s CEO, Campbell Wilson, said the partnership with Amadeus was a logical step for his airline.

“Travel agencies connect with our customers in another important way beyond our website or call centres. As the largest global distribution system with the widest network of travel agents, it makes sense for us to partner with Amadeus,” Wilson said.

Seventy low-cost and hybrid airlines are currently bookable via Amadeus.
