Travelport extends Cathay Pacific multi-source content agreement

The airline's NDC content is expected to launch next year

Global GDS and travel technology firm Travelport has announced it has renewed its multi-source distribution agreement with Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific.

The companies are currently collaborating on the integration of Cathay Pacific’s NDC content in Travelport+, which is expected to launch in the coming months.

“At Cathay, it is our culture to put our partners and customers at the heart of everything we do," said Kinto Chan, general manager sales and distribution of Cathay Pacific.

"That is why it is so important for us to be able to offer diverse and customized products while maintaining excellent reliability in the delivery of our service. 

"The strong relationship we have built with Travelport over the years enabled us to do exactly that. With the conclusion of this far-reaching agreement, we look forward to taking this productive relationship to the next level enabling our business partners access to an even more comprehensive range of Cathay products in Travelport+ with unique NDC-sourced offers which they can use to curate products that best answer to their customers’ individual needs.”

With the progressive roll out of Cathay Pacific’s NDC content and servicing capabilities in Travelport+, agents will be able to easily shop and compare the airline’s NDC and non-NDC offers in one view.

“This extended multi-source content agreement reflects our commitment to providing travel agencies and their customers with a modern, effortless retailing experience when booking Cathay Pacific with Travelport+,” added Damian Hickey, global head of Air Partners of Travelport. 

“With continued access to Cathay Pacific’s dynamic fares in Travelport+ and the addition of NDC content, agents will be able to effortlessly view, compare and select the best options that are tailored to their customers’ needs.”
