Former Worldspan manager takes Travelport Ireland role
Terje (Ty) Tjostolvsen has been appointed country manager Ireland by Travelport GDs following a structural review as part of the integration of Worldspan and Galileo.
He was previously country manager for Worldspan, Ireland. He has also held various international commercial roles for Amadeus and STA Travel.
Tjostolvsen, who will report to Patrick Lukan, general manager, UK & Ireland, said: “The changes we have made to our organisational structure will allow us to get closer to, and better serve, our customers.
“Bringing together Galileo and Worldspan under Travelport GDS does not mean that either system will be favoured, or that any customers will be forced to change GDS.
“Rather, it enables us to deliver to our customers the best of breed from both product sets, whilst continuing to sell both Galileo and Worldspan products according to customer needs.”
