Leading travel platform to power Emirates consumer direct and B2B websites

NEXGEN Travel Distribution Inc, a sophisticated travel distribution platform, today announced it has signed an agreement with Emirates, an award winning airline, for innovative internet booking engine services.

NEXGEN’s rapidly expanding core technology platform enables inventory control through its Back Office, and inventory distribution featuring intelligent packaging with the Front Office. The platform drives ancillary revenue by bundling multiple product offerings, such as accommodation, flights, ground transfers, activities, rentals, insurance, and merchandise. The intelligent package features one price inclusive of all offerings, yet is modifiable real time.

NEXGEN’s internet based technology will enable Emirates.com visitors to purchase intelligent travel packages, and will be used to activate Emirates sponsorship of highly complex and geographically dispersed sporting events. The NEXGEN platform delivers an unrivalled experience through one the largest databases in the world featuring in excess of 150,000 unique hotels across 34,000 destinations.

“We are pleased to be NEXGEN’s first airline partner, and we are confident the booking engine will save our customers time and money” said Keith Longstaff, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations Worldwide at Emirates Airline. “Working together, Emirates and NEXGEN have improved the overall booking experience, and will allow our customers to conveniently travel to some of the world’s finest sporting events that Emirates are proud to sponsor”.

“NEXGEN is delighted to be the preferred technology platform chosen to activate Emirates.com and its B2B sites” said Lawrence Hutson, NEXGEN Chairman and CEO. “As the leading technology platform for intelligent packaging, NEXGEN will ensure Emirates achieves and sustains a leadership position for all its e-commerce initiatives.”
