AirAsia links with Travelport for distribution
Travelport, and AirAsia have unveiled a partnership which will see AirAsia distribute all of its fares and ancillary services through the Travelport global distribution system (GDS) for the first time.
As part of the agreement, AirAsia has also signed up for Travelport’s merchandising technology, including its aggregated shopping functionality which will enable travel agents to shop, compare and book AirAsia and AirAsia X flights alongside those offered by traditional carriers in exactly the same booking workflow.
AirAsia, which services an extensive network covering 87 destinations, has been named the World’s Best and Asia’s Best Low Cost Airline for five consecutive years at the World Airline Awards.
The agreement means that Travelport-connected agents worldwide will be able to search and book fares and ancillaries such as checked-in bags, advanced seat selection and in-flight meals offered by all airlines under the AirAsia group.
