WestJet is renewing and expanding its distribution agreement with Amadeus to ensure that all fare options and merchandising capabilities are accessible for travel advisors worldwide.
In addition, WestJet is committed to making its future NDC-based offering available to travel advisors on the Amadeus Travel Platform, where it will join the 27 other airlines already selling NDC-sourced content through the Amadeus Travel API.
NDC content from WestJet will be fully integrated into travel advisors’ booking environments, the airline says.
For travel advisors, this means that whether using Amadeus Selling Platform Connect or an application powered by an Amadeus Travel API, including the Amadeus Cytric self-booking tool for its corporate clients, all of WestJet’s NDC fare options and merchandizing will be easy to shop, compare, book and manage.
WestJet says it is committed to providing its full spectrum of fares and merchandising offers to Amadeus subscribers, enabling them to fully leverage these offerings and present travellers with the best options tailored to meet their individual preferences.
“This expanded partnership with Amadeus is a key element of our broader distribution strategy to prioritize our guests in every aspect of their experience, regardless of how they book. Whether they seek maximum flexibility, the lowest price, a premium experience, or something in between, we aim to empower travel advisors to offer travellers precisely what they want with WestJet,” said John Weatherill, chief commercial officer of WestJet, in a press release.
Rajiv Rajian, EVP and chief commercial officer, Americas, travel at Amadeus added: "We look forward to our continued partnership to support its retailing strategy and growth plans including enabling NDC content globally and at scale for the benefit of airlines, travel advisors and corporate customers."
