(07/03/24)
 
Qatar Airways’ NDC content and enhanced
servicing capabilities are now available in the Travelport+
platform.

Travelport+ enables agency customers to access a
range of rich content, fares and unique offerings from Qatar
Airways all in one place and enhanced by the Content Curation
Layer (CCL), a feature that minimizes manual tasks using powerful
artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities to
provide a more modern retailing experience with faster search
response times and greater accuracy.

“Our NDC collaboration with Travelport ensures
that travel agents around the globe can effortlessly shop and book
our growing repertoire of NDC offers and provide exceptional
service to our customers, including post-ticketing,” said Matt
Raos, Senior Vice President, Global Sales at Qatar Airways. “Qatar
Airways has long been committed to bringing our agency partners
along on the NDC journey, so we’re pleased to extend our NDC
offers to Travelport subscribers.”

Travelport’s NDC content and servicing solution
for Qatar Airways has first become available to agency customers
located across Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Hong Kong SAR,
India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Oman,
Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand,
United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

Access will be rolled out to
agency customers located in additional countries around the world
in the coming weeks.

“Now that Qatar’s NDC content is available on
Travelport+, our agency customers will have the ability to view
and compare more dynamic offers and ancillaries from Qatar Airways
so they can create a more streamlined, personalized experience for
travelers,” said Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel
Partners at Travelport. “We’ve built our NDC solution to empower
travel agents to operate as modern retailers and provide the level
of service that travelers need beyond the point of booking, so
that our partners benefit from more upsells and greater loyalty
from their customers.”
