Travelport and Azul Brazilian Airlines have announced a new agreement that will allow Azul booking services to be sold by Travelport-connected agency customers outside Brazil.
This follows last autumn’s technology contract that enabled Azul customers to have interline and check-in capabilities through Travelport systems. Now travel agents can access Azul content directly via Travelport GDS platforms, enabling faster bookings and the building of itineraries, including hotel, car and other travel services offered by Travelport.
“We are delighted to build on our IT relationship with Travelport by making our content available to Travelport’s non-Brazilian travel agents. Travelport’s extensive global footprint provides us with an efficient distribution channel for distributing our attractive local fares abroad. We are focused on the distribution of our fares through distribution channels that provide broad reach on a cost-effective basis for our end travellers,” says Marcelo Bento, planning and alliance director at Azul Brazilian Airlines.
