Travelport, a leading global travel technology provider, and TAP Air Portugal, Portugal’s national airline and a Star Alliance member, have entered into a comprehensive content distribution agreement. This new pact enables Travelport to distribute both New Distribution Capability (NDC) and conventional content to its network of agency clients, further enhancing access to TAP Air Portugal’s offerings worldwide.
“This upcoming launch of our NDC content in Travelport+ will be a pivotal moment in our decades-long relationship,” said Mario Cruz, Chief Commercial and Revenue Officer at TAP Air Portugal.“Together, we are looking to deliver a solution that makes it easy for agents to access, sell, and service tailored NDC content and offers from TAP Air Portugal through the Travelport+ marketplace.”
TAP Air Portugal has partnered with Travelport to make its NDC (New Distribution Capability) content readily accessible on the Travelport+ platform. This collaboration allows agents to easily explore and book TAP Air Portugal’s extensive selection of fares and promotions. Through Travelport’s API, Smartpoint Cloud, and Smartpoint Desktop solutions, agents can conveniently compare the airline’s NDC offers alongside traditional fare options, ensuring they find the best deals for their clients. Additionally, Travelport’s robust tools empower agents to manage and service NDC bookings effectively for their customers.
“Our updated agreement with TAP Air Portugal highlights our mutual dedication to creating a modern, personalized shopping and service experience for agents and travelers with NDC,” said Damian Hickey, Global Head of Travel Partners at Travelport. “With the future delivery of TAP Air Portugal’s NDC content and servicing in Travelport+, we’re continuing our mission to ensure that agencies can easily shop, compare, book and service the best offerings from leading airlines, all in one place.”
Travelport’s innovative AI-driven Content Curation Layer (CCL) streamlines the process for retailers by addressing the difficulties associated with reviewing and comparing content from various sources. Integrated within Travelport+, CCL empowers agents to seamlessly view and compare NDC and traditional content within a unified platform. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this tool sifts through aggregated content from multiple sources, ensuring that search results are accurate and standardized, thus simplifying the process of understanding and comparing different offers.
