Travelport has announced the first live booking of a KLM Economy Comfort seat using the new industry standard electronic miscellaneous document (EMD).
The booking was fulfilled via a travel agent in The Netherlands for a customer travelling from Amsterdam to Beijing. Currently in Alpha testing, this new functionality will be made available to Travelport-connected travel agents throughout the world in a phased roll-out which begins next month.
Providing fulfilment via EMD completes the end-to-end process for travel agency distribution of airline ancillary services and forms part of Travelport’s wider merchandising offering. This offering enables a number of major airlines to sell their products in a more efficient and integrated way through travel agents. Over the past 16 months, Travelport has also integrated ancillary services seamlessly into agency points of sale for airlines including British Airways, Air Canada, Cimber Sterling and United, with more in the pipeline throughout this year.
