Travelport launches flight search tool
Travelport has announced the global launch of its new Search Control Console, a tool to customise search in real time.
The application is Travelport’s latest innovation in intelligent flight search, enabling agencies to fine tune the relevancy of search results to their customers’ needs.
For example, agents can use the application to eliminate transit airports that they believe offer poor customer standards, or prohibit a connection point for a set time period if the area has been affected by a volcanic ash cloud or another natural disaster.
The Search Control Console removes the burden of labor-intensive ‘intelligence coding’, or the need to continually send instructions to frontline sales staff.
Agencies can also use search modifiers to help meet airline sales targets.
The application is available to subscribers of the Apollo, Galileo and Worldspan systems worldwide.
