Travelport renews distribution agreement with Delta Air Lines to include NDC
Global GDS and travel technology company has revealed it has signed a multi-year renewal agreement with Delta Air Lines, including NDC content.
“We value our long-term partnership with Travelport and are pleased to extend our full content agreement, as well as make Delta’s NDC technology solution available to all of Travelport’s agency customers,” said Jeff Lobl, managing director, distribution strategy and agency sales programmes of Delta Air Lines.
“Together, we aim to create value by ensuring customers are presented with the best options to fit their needs for a better, more personalized shopping experience.”
To help agencies solve challenges with comparing NDC offers alongside traditional content, Travelport recently debuted its Content Curation Layer (CCL).
Travelport’s CCL uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) to sift through aggregated, multi-source content and return the right range of accurate, highly intuitive search results that are normalized and easier for agents and travelers to understand.
CCL is the latest enhancement to the Travelport+ platform, simplifying the delivery of retail-ready content from partners like Delta and presenting tailored options to agency customers and the end-traveler.
“Our renewed agreement with Delta underscores our shared commitment to modernizing travel retail for agents and travelers with a seamless, personalised shopping and servicing experience,” said Damian Hickey, global head of travel partners of Travelport.
“As we prepare for the future delivery of Delta’s NDC content, our ability to deliver multi-source content in a retail-ready way ensures that agents and travelers will be able to easily shop and compare all of Delta’s product offerings in one place.”
