Agents using Travelport will be able to access easyJet content via its Travel Commerce Platform following a new deal.
The airline will also be using the tech company’s rich content and branding technology to display its fares, including business traveller friendly products, following the deal.
“EasyJet was one of the first airlines in the low-cost sector to make its inventory available through the GDS and it remains of paramount importance to continue our relationship with Travelport and utilising key products like inclusive fares and corporate negotiated fares,” said Anthony Drury, head of business for easyJet.
“Around 20% of easyJet’s passengers travel for business and we continue to deliver on the strategy we launched in 2010 to increase our appeal to the business travel sector.
“Enhancements including allocated seating, inclusive fares and fast-track security have all played a part in enabling easyJet to attract more business passengers.”
Paul Broughton, Travelport regional managing director UK and Ireland, added: “We are delighted to be continuing our strong relationship with easyJet, which we have had for eight years now.
“During this time, Travelport has helped increase sales among corporations, travel management companies and travel agencies, and expanded easyJet’s reach in new and existing markets.
“We are also pleased that easyJet has continued to see the value of our rich content and branding solution, which is unrivalled in the industry – we now have more than 150 airlines implemented, which shows that it is making a real difference to the agency booking experience.
“We look forward to continue exploring further opportunities with easyJet.”
