Travelport has signed a participation agreement
with Germanwings, the growing airline based in Cologne, for the
carrier’s content and fares to be available on all Travelport GDS
platforms.
Flying to more than 75 European destinations,
Germanwings flight schedules are now available to Travelport’s
subscriber base of 60,000 travel agents worldwide.
E-ticketing capability for Germanwings is
enabled by Lufthansa and all of the Germanwings fares distributed
through the Travelport GDS channel include on board service and 20
kgs of free, checked-in baggage.
In April this year Germanwings implemented Travelport’s e-ticket database
hosting service to store and manage electronic ticket data for
online and interline e-ticketing. Hosted by Travelport’s Airline
IT Solutions business, the ETDBase solution gives Germanwings the
ability to process electronic ticketing messages.
Commenting on the distribution agreement, Stefan Betz, Head of
Sales and Distribution at Germanwings said, “We have been working closely with Travelport in recent months – firstly to implement
their e-ticketing solution and now to ensure our flights are made
available to their extensive global network of travel agency
customers. We value the way Travelport has been able to cater for
our very specific needs and aligned the interests of a global,
multi-GDS provider with the very special low cost distribution
model established and promoted by Germanwings. We expect this
cooperation to be a genuine win-win partnership.”
