AirAsia has signed up for Travelport’s Rich
Content and Branding solution.
This new deal supplements the
distribution agreements that Travelport already has with seven
carriers within the AirAsia group.
Through the agreement, AirAsia
becomes the first Low Cost Carrier (LCC) in Asia to sign up for
this innovative feature that allows airlines to market and retail
their products more effectively by controlling how their products
are visually presented and described to travel agents. It is
designed to enable partner airlines to use more sophisticated
retailing techniques in order to drive sales of core fares as well
as ancillaries and “optional extras” such as selected seating and
lounge passes.
Spencer
Lee, Head of Commercial, AirAsia Berhad, said, “On AirAsia.com, we are very proud of the wide variety of options and
add-ons we offer to our customers, clearly presented with detailed
descriptions and highly illustrative visuals. We are glad we are
now able to present our products in the same manner to Travelport’s global network using its Rich Content and Branding
solution.”
More than 100 airlines use the popular
merchandising technology including China Eastern Airlines, Delta
Air Lines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, easyJet, Ryanair
and others.
