Under this agreement, JAL will continue to use Travelport’s Rich Content and Branding merchandising solution, joining over 250 other airlines, allowing them to display their branded fares and ancillary content in a graphically rich manner.
Damian Hickey, vice president, Asia Pacific, Travelport commented: “Today’s announcement marks Travelport’s continuing commitment and investment to Japan’s growing travel and tourism industry.
“It has been a pleasure working with the JAL Group over other strategic projects and we are delighted that they have extended the scope of our partnership.
“We look forward to achieving more commercial successes with JAL.”
Over 68,000 of Travelport-connected travel agencies globally now have real-time access to JAL’s fares and inventory, providing even more content and choice for travellers.
