Dutch OTA Travix has signed a deal which includes using Travelport’s universal API to access fares and ancillary services from leading low-cost carriers.

Travix operates in 32 countries under five brands and runs a portfolio of 38 websites.

The agency is also adopting Travelport’s airline merchandising capabilities.

Travix chief executive, John Mangelaars, said: “Travelport’s technology gives us a very real opportunity to grow our business throughout Europe and beyond, such as in Asia Pacific and the USA.

“Travelport’s airline content in particular, and the way in which it is able to display that content in a very similar way to an airline’s own website, allows our customers to better understand and book air fares and ancillaries that suit their needs.”

Jason Clarke, Travelport global managing director for agency commerce, added: “This is a forward-thinking, industry-leading OTA that has recognised the level of investment Travelport has put into its travel commerce platform and the innovative products and solutions we’re bringing to the industry.

“We’re looking forward to working together to help the Travix team provide a first class service to its customers.”
