Under the agreement, Travelport will continue to support Air New Zealand by providing more than 68,000 Travelport-connected travel agencies around the world with real-time access to search, sell and book the airline’s content and inventory.

“Putting Air New Zealand’s award-winning and innovative products in front of the world’s travel agents, in a manner which does them full justice, will play a crucial role in the recovery of travel. Travelport has been a trusted partner with a proven track record for years, and we are happy to extend our partnership,” Air New Zealand Regional General Manager Sales & Alliances Andrew Dale said.

The agreement also includes the continued use of Travelport Rich Content and Branding, the company’s leading airline merchandising tool. With the solution, worldwide agencies will also be enjoying greater access and a graphically rich experience when searching and booking the branded fares and ancillary products of Air New Zealand.

Retailing excellence is more important now than it has ever been, and we are delighted to build on our partnership with Air New Zealand,” Sue Carter, Head of Asia Pacific, Air Partners at Travelport, said.
