Royal Jordanian upgrades GDS participation agreement with Travelport
13th Nov 2010 Travelport has announced that Galileo and Worldspan-connected travel agents can now benefit from enhanced connectivity on flight bookings with Royal Jordanian (RJ).
Jordan’s national carrier and oneworld alliance member recently upgraded its Global Distribution System (GDS) participation agreement with Travelport to leverage the GDS provider’s leading-edge ‘inside availability’ technology, the highest level of connectivity available through the GDS.
The enhanced functionality will ensure travel agents have real-time connectivity to the airline’s inventory of fares, providing access to last-seat availability, current pricing and rules, seat maps, instant bookings and confirmations, as well as full e-ticketing capabilities for RJ flights.
As a result of this new feature, booking transactions between the airline and Travelport’s extensive global network of travel retailers will be seamless, boosting productivity and operational cost savings for the travel trade, as well as providing numerous yield management and inventory control benefits to the airline.
