Northwest in five-year deal with Galileo

Northwest Airlines has signed a long-term full content agreement with Galileo International.

The five-year deal establishes the Travelport-owned GDS as the preferred distribution channel for the US carrier.

Travelport supplier services senior vice-president Kurt Ekert said the Northwest arrangement meant that Galileo had become the first GDS to secure full content from all network carriers in the US.
