Worldwide travel retail platform, Travelport, has signed a multi-year extension of its full content agreement with American Airlines (American), including an agreement on the distribution of American’s NDC content. The agreement also supports American’s new codeshare and extended services relationship for domestic bookings with Alaska Airlines and JetBlue Airways.
As part of the agreement, Travelport will roll out several enhanced functionalities to simplify how its tens of thousands of connected agencies shop and manage NDC bookings. This rollout includes the airline’s new Main Plus offer, which provides either a main cabin extra seat or preferred seat along with an additional free checked bag and boarding privileges. The partners will continuously deliver the end-to-end NDC retailing capabilities agencies need to upsell, personalize and change bookings over the course of 2021.
