All eyes are on India, world’s seventh largest economy and with the fastest GDP growth rate in the past year. The country’s largest domestic carrier and one of the world’s fastest growing low cost airlines, IndiGo inked an agreement with Travelport to launch its fares and ancillaries on Travelport’s leading Travel Commerce Platform.
Earlier, IndiGo had announced that it had signed a strategic partnership to distribute its low fares and ancillaries to all connected Travelport travel agencies around the world – both online and offline. The agreement comes when advances in travel technology are empowering traditional retailers to be more competitive.
Aditya Ghosh, president and whole time director, IndiGo said: 'Travelport’s technology is providing an opportunity for us to reach new travellers at home and internationally and familiarise them with our unique brand in a highly cost effective manner without incurring the traditional costs associated with participation in the more traditional global distribution platforms.'
Gordon Wilson, president and CEO, Travelport said: 'This launch is very good news for our connected travel agents both in India and around the world. By adding IndiGo’s fares and ancillaries to the Travelport platform, we have marked another significant industry first and we look forward to working with IndiGo in the years ahead to help them expand their distribution.
