Air Canada has renewed its content distribution
agreement, which includes New Distribution Capability (NDC) and
servicing, with Travelport.
The deal means that Travelport-connected agencies
worldwide will continue to have access to the widest range of
products and ancillaries from Air Canada, allowing them to easily
search, view and compare Air Canada’s dynamic offers all in one
place.

“Travelport and Air Canada share a decades-long
relationship and we’re pleased to be taking this important next
step as we modernize our distribution capabilities,” said Mark
Nasr, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Digital for Air
Canada. “Together, we will enable the delivery of the full range
of content and fares that Air Canada provides to our travel trade
partners, as well as access to the many upcoming products and
services that are focused on improving travel for our customers.”
The two companies anticipate the launch of the Air
Canada’s full NDC solution on Travelport+ in the coming months.
“Our new long-term agreement with Air Canada is a
result of our shared focus on making it easier for agents to shop,
sell and service dynamic offers with access to even more content
from all sources – including NDC,” said Jason Clarke, Chief
Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport. “As we prepare
to roll out our Air Canada NDC solution in the coming months, our
agency customers can rest assured they will have continued access
to extensive offerings from Air Canada, including personalized
offers and the ability to easily manage all aspects of their
customers’ travel within a single view of product features and
ancillaries.”
