Tigerair, Travelport on the same page
No frills Tigerair is making its fares and ancillary content available to Travelport-connected travel agents globally, marking the first time it has distributed via the GDS channel.
The distribution agreement allows Tigerair to display its fares alongside those of traditional carriers and reach the travel agency community more easily.
As part of the agreement, Tigerair will also become the first carrier from the Asia Pacific region to adopt the GDS provider’s aggregated shopping technology, a key component of the Travelport Merchandising Platform.
Tigerair, operating out of Singapore, embraces four airlines: Tigerair Singapore, Tigerair Mandala (Indonesia), Tigerair Philippines and Tigerair Australia.
Through the agreement, content from its three Asian airlines will be bookable for all Travelport-connected agents worldwide.
Tigerair will also leverage the Travelport Merchandising Platform to make optional add-ons such as checked-in bags, pre-allocated seating and meals bookable by travel agents.
