AMERICAN Airlines and Travelport have come to a working arrangement to allow the continued distribution of the airline’s fares via the Apollo, Galileo and Worldspan global distribution systems (GDSs). The airline and global distribution system provider have issued a joint statement saying the existing full content agreements have been extended and travel agencies will continue to be able to access all of AA’s fares on Travelport’s three GDSs.
No further details have been released but according to the statement the existing agreements would run concurrently and were now no longer due to expire in 2011. The terms of Travelport’s subscriber opt-in programs for American will also remain unchanged they added. The extension of this agreement has also raised hopes that this could signal a move to end the lengthy and high-profile legal battle between the airline and the GDS provider.
