Under the agreement, Jetstar Group will deploy Travelport’s Rich Content and Branding merchandising solution, allowing the four airlines to display their branded fares and ancillary content in a graphically rich and visual way.

Between 2015-2020, bookings on low cost-carriers in Asia Pacific are expected to grow twice as fast as full service carriers. 

Damian Hickey, vice president, Asia Pacific and global sales strategy, air commerce at Travelport said, “In our recently launched Global Digital Traveller Research, we see that over 70% of travellers globally still look to travel professionals, like travel agents, for recommendations before making travel bookings. 

“In APAC, it is 80% of all travellers. This demonstrates the continuing relevance of the travel professionals in travellers’ journeys.”
