Travelport and Air Canada have renewed their content distribution agreement. Notably, the multi-year agreement will feature a full range of New Distribution Capability (NDC) content and end-to-end servicing of NDC bookings to help agencies easily manage trip changes and exchanges – a development the airline calls the “next step” in the evolution of its distribution capabilities.

Travelport-connected agencies and travel management companies worldwide will continue to have access to a wide range of retail-ready products and ancillaries from Air Canada, along with superior servicing capabilities. And through Travelport+ platform, agency customers will be able to easily search, view and compare Air Canada’s dynamic offers all in one place.

“Travelport and Air Canada share a decades-long relationship and we’re pleased to be taking this important next step as we modernize our distribution capabilities,” said Mark Nasr, Executive VP, Marketing and Digital for Air Canada. “Together, we will enable the delivery of the full range of content and fares that Air Canada provides to our travel trade partners, as well as access to the many upcoming products and services that are focused on improving travel for our customers.”

“Our new long-term agreement with Air Canada is a result of our shared focus on making it easier for agents to shop, sell and service dynamic offers with access to even more content from all sources – including NDC,” said Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport. “As we prepare to roll out our Air Canada NDC solution in the coming months, our agency customers can rest assured they will have continued access to extensive offerings from Air Canada, including personalized offers and the ability to easily manage all aspects of their customers’ travel within a single view of product features and ancillaries.”
