Airline aggregator TPConnects Technologies is adding content from South African budget carrier FlySafair to its Iris platform.
Johannesburg-based low-cost carrier FlySafair, which started flights in 2014, offers services to 14 destinations around southern Africa and provides domestic transport for South Africa¡¯s national rugby and cricket teams.
"The integration of FlySafair into our Iris platform marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to provide the best available content to our customers," said Eric Dumas, CEO of TPConnects, which is majority owned by Australia-based Flight Centre.
"By bringing FlySafair's network and competitive fares onto Iris, we're not only expanding low-cost carrier distribution in South Africa but also enabling seamless access for travel businesses across both corporate and leisure sectors.¡±
The company added that FlySafair¡¯s content was already available to Flight Centre¡¯s corporate and leisure brands through the Iris platform.
Sue Garrett, GM of supply and distribution at Flight Centre Travel Group, said: "The addition of FlySafair's content to the Iris platform strengthens our offering in the important South African market and demonstrates our commitment to providing comprehensive travel solutions to our customers."
