Travelport and Finnair, the flag carrier of Finland, announced they have enhanced their long-term relationship with a multi-source content agreement that includes both New Distribution Capability (NDC) content and traditional content.
The agreement confirms that Travelport’s agency customers will have access to robust multi-source content from Finnair, including ancillary services. The companies are currently collaborating on the delivery of Finnair’s NDC content and servicing capabilities through the Travelport+ platform.
“Our agreement with Travelport underscores our shared focus on providing more value and better experiences for travelers when they shop and book Finnair,” said Jenni Suomela, Vice President of Global Sales and Channel Management at Finnair. “This collaboration with Travelport will elevate our NDC program as we continue to scale and drive adoption among agencies and travel retailers.”
“This deal ensures that agents using Travelport+ can access relevant, personalized, and enriched multi-source content from Finnair so that they can present the best offers available to travelers,” said Damian Hickey, Global Head of Air Partners at Travelport. “We are committed to delivering retail-ready multi-source content that our agency customers can easily sell and service for partners like Finnair, because modern travel retailing needs to work seamlessly for everyone.”
Travelport+ is the only modern retailing platform built for travel agencies. To date, thousands of agencies in more than 178 countries can easily search, sell and service NDC content using Travelport’s APIs, Smartpoint Cloud and Smartpoint desktop agency point-of-sale solutions.
