Travelport, a global technology company that supports travel bookings for numerous travel suppliers, and Calgary, Canada-based WestJet, have announced a new long-term content distribution deal. This renewed partnership aims to enhance WestJet’s retailing capabilities as both companies collaborate on the future delivery of new distribution capability (NDC) content and servicing.
“This is an exciting time for travel distribution and Travelport’s ability to help agencies operate as modern retailers aligns with the value proposition across our wide range of products,” said Jorge Rozo, VP Pricing, Revenue and Distribution at WestJet. “This new agreement ensures that together, WestJet and Travelport deliver a future modern retailing experience for our agency partners and travel customers so that they can easily search, shop and service our fares and ancillaries.”
The agreement ensures that Travelport’s agency customers will continue to access WestJet’s extensive content, including ancillary services. WestJet will also maintain its use of Travelport’s Rich Content & Branding (RC&B) services, allowing agencies to view, compare and sell a variety of WestJet’s product offerings. Travelport is dedicated to providing retail-ready content to its agency customers, including future access to NDC content from WestJet. The companies will work together to ensure agents can access a wide range of WestJet’s offers and fares, along with comprehensive servicing capabilities.
