Delta to sell Economy Comfort through Travelport Systems

Delta Air Lines and Travelport have reached an agreement to sell Economy Comfort, Delta’s premium economy product that offers more leg room, through Travelport’s global distribution system.

The agreement will create Economy Comfort booking access later this year for travel agents who use Galileo, Worldspan or Apollo.

“Partnering with Travelport broadens the availability of this popular product to Travelport-affiliated travel agents. We are always willing to work with partners like Travelport who bring value to the distribution chain and can deliver our product on a cost-effective basis,” says Wayne Aaron, vp, marketing programmes and distribution strategy at Delta.

“We’re delighted to provide Travelport-connected travel agents globally with the ability to offer their customers Delta Air Lines’ Economy Comfort seating later this year,” says Derek Sharp, Travelport’s president for the Americas. “This agreement with Delta underscores that Travelport is ready, willing and able to deliver technology to merchandise ancillary products and services through the travel agency channel to provide travellers with additional options and added convenience.”
