Canadian travel agents using the Travelport Distribution System will soon be able to view and book Canada Jetlines inventory.

Travelport, which powers bookings for hundreds of thousands of travel suppliers worldwide, has signed a long-term agreement with Canada Jetlines to bring New Distribution Capability (NDC) content and travel retailing technology solutions to the airline.

Joining the Travelport global marketplace will enable Canada Jetlines to enhance its geographic reach and target new leisure traveller segments, while providing travel agents with increased options to create optimal travel experiences for their clients.

"Canada Jetlines’ business plan from day one believed that having our content on as many shelves as possible, at the right time, and at the right price, while offering our travel trade partners competitive earning opportunities, would contribute to our growth plans,” said Canada Jetlines Chief Commercial Officer, Duncan Bureau.

“We are looking forward to providing rich content through the Travelport+ platform, placing Jetlines inventory and services in the hands of travel agents around the world.”

“As the only travel retailing platform built for agents, our partnership with Canada Jetlines will further expand our content portfolio on Travelport+ so that our customers can offer more choice and the best options for their customers,” said Craig Banks, Head of Commercial, Air Partners – Americas.

The implementation of the Travelport Distribution System is expected to be completed and ready for use during the current quarter.
