International has signed an agreement with SpiceJet Airlines, one of India’s fastest growing low cost
airlines, to provide SpiceJet’s low fares and inventory exclusively on the Galileo GDS platform.
All SpiceJet fares, including 49 daily flights and periodic promotional fares, will be distributed via Galileo Flight Integrator, a product introduced by
Galileo exclusively for low cost airlines to give them access to an extensive network of travel agents from across Asia and the world.
“We are particularly excited about this unique relationship, because SpiceJet is widely acknowledged as one of the most promising low cost
carriers in India. Spicejet’s decision to make its fares available to travel agents via our GDS is testament to the value that we provide to airlines and
travel agents alike,” said Mr. Brad Holman, Travelport Airline Services Managing Director.
According to Holman, this development is of equal importance to the agreement signed between Galileo and Air Asia earlier this year, since it will
have far reaching implications for Galileo’s broader success in the South Asia region.
“We are confident that Galileo Flight Integrator will become the tool of choice for Galileo agents to book low cost carrier flights, especially since it
now adds SpiceJet’s flights to exclusive Air Asia content, including their newly announced Malaysia domestic routes”
added Holman.
SpiceJet joins over 50 other Low Cost Carriers around the world that are using the Galileo GDS as a distribution channel.
