Easyjet signs TMC with direct XML connection
Travel management company Click Travel claims to have become the first to offer a direct XML connection to Easyjet fares content.
The budget airline is to provide instant and live access to customers booking air travel through the agreement.
Easyjet has spoken out in the past against travel agency and aggregator sites using prohibited screen scraping technology to add content to their sites.
This tie up will give Click’s users licensed access to the carrier’s flights and fares.
Click Travel’s Simon McLean said: “Our clients now have reliable access to Easyjet’s full content and great fares through our award winning technology.
"Many travel management companies continue to support unreliable screen scraping technology for low-cost-carrier content. We continue to drive our strategy of connecting directly to suppliers using reliable and properly licensed XML technology."
Easyjet distribution development manager Jerry Dunn said: “Easyjet continues to make it easier for TMCs and corporates to book our low fares through structured interfaces with GDSs, SBTs and other booking systems used to manage business travel.
“Click Travel developed against our API in record time and is further evidence of the move away from unlicensed screen scraping systems.”
