Worldspan, L.P. and United Airlines, announced that they have signed a new five-year content distribution agreement designating Worldspan as a preferred distribution channel. In conjunction with the agreement, Worldspan has developed two new optional products to introduce into the marketplace.
Through this new agreement, agencies will have the opportunity to access United Airlines` comprehensive published fares and seat inventory. This includes all published fares that the airline sells through United.com, any third party website or other distribution system, as well as private fares, where applicable. This new agreement is expected to be implemented in the next six months.
We`re extremely pleased to partner with Worldspan to provide our valued customers with long-term access to United`s fares and seat inventory, said Doug Leo, vice president of revenue management for United Airlines. This agreement represents an integral part of our sales and distribution strategy to achieve reliability, flexibility and cost-efficiency.
We are delighted to partner with United Airlines in distributing their products and services, said Rakesh Gangwal, chairman, president and chief executive officer for Worldspan. Our ongoing success in signing these important content distribution agreements with various airlines underscores Worldspan`s commitment to provide critical content on a long-term basis to our valued travel agencies.
