Travelport secures Air France KLM deal
A new global distribution deal between Travelport GDS and Air France KLM will see full content provided to Galileo and Worldspan users worldwide until March 2013.
The agreement with the largest European airline group represents a continuation of Travelport GDS’ strategy of securing full content programmes across the globe.
Travelport GDS’ vice president of airline development, Europe, Middle East and Africa Matthew Hall said: “We are delighted to have reached this agreement with Air France KLM and can guarantee full content to all of our travel agency customers for the next four years.
“The length of this new agreement, and the fact that it guarantees full content globally, will really give our travel agency customers a competitive edge.
“It is a further illustration of our ability to work with our airline partners and reach a situation that is beneficial to all those involved in the travel booking chain – the airline, ourselves, the travel agency customers, and, of course, the end traveller.”
Henri Hourcade, vice-president corporate & distribution for Air France KLM said: ”Travelport GDS, with its Galileo and Worldspan systems, is an important distribution partner for the sale of Air France and KLM flights and we are looking forward to working closely together over the coming years.
“The new agreement we have signed will enable us to give both Galileo and Worldspan users full global content until March 2013 and will further strengthen our position with those users.
