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.
