WestJet & Amadeus sign multi-year agreement

WestJet and Amadeus have signed a new multi-year agreement for worldwide distribution including ancillary services.

Under the new agreement, subscribers worldwide have continued access via the Amadeus global distribution system to WestJet’s broad range of content. The agreement also continues to provide access and booking of the carrier’s ancillary offerings including options such as seat selection, baggage and priority boarding.

WestJet also recently evolved its merchandising approach using Amadeus’ ancillary technologies. Last year the airline implemented Amadeus Airline Ancillary Services which enables travel agents to book add-on services, as well as Amadeus Airline Fare Families, thereby making its Econo, Flex, Plus Lowest and Plus Flexible bundled fare options available.
