Finnair has expanded its agreement with Travelport to include both New Distribution Capability (NDC) and traditional content and servicing capabilities.?
The move means that Travelport+ users will be able to access multi-source content from Finnair, including ancillary services. In a statement on Tuesday (30 July) the companies said they are ¡°currently collaborating¡± on the rollout of the carrier¡¯s NDC content through the platform.
Finnair VP of global sales and channel management, Jenni Suomela, said: ¡°This collaboration with Travelport will elevate our NDC programme as we continue to scale and drive adoption among agencies and travel retailers.¡±?
Travelport global head of air partners, Damian Hickey, added: ¡°We are committed to delivering retail-ready multi-source content that our agency customers can easily sell and service for partners like Finnair, because modern travel retailing needs to work seamlessly for everyone.¡±
The agreement follows recent NDC distribution deals for Travelport with the likes of Etihad, Emirates, and Spanish carrier Iberia.
