WESTJET, TRAVELPORT INK LONG-TERM AGREEMENT

Travelport and WestJet have signed an early renewal of their long-term full content agreement. Through the agreement, WestJet’s content, fare families, and optional services (including prepaid seats) will be available to Travelport-connected travel agents in Canada via Travelport Smartpoint App, Travelport Agencia and Travelport Universal Desktop. Travelport Agencia is an advanced web-based application that allows agents to shop, book and modify WestJet’s full content and optional services obtained through the WestJet Direct API, along with global airline content from the Apollo GDS. Agencia will conform to all of WestJet’s display requirements, guaranteeing Agencia users continued access to WestJet’s Econo Fares and all other WestJet fares and optional services. The agreement balances WestJet’s requirement for merchandising and product differentiation with the agency’s need for efficient processes and full access to WestJet’s content and services. Currently, WestJet and Travelport are targeting Q4 of 2013 for deployment of WestJet’s API content, which would include prepaid seats and the ability to book seats included in WestJet’s Plus Fare.
