Travelport, a leading global technology provider that facilitates travel bookings for hundreds of thousands of suppliers worldwide, has announced a new multi-year renewal agreement with Delta Air Lines. This partnership includes Delta’s NDC (New Distribution Capability) content. The top U.S. airline is working closely with Travelport to integrate its NDC solution into Travelport+, further advancing Delta’s transformation in sales and service.

“We value our long-term partnership with Travelport and are pleased to extend our full content agreement, as well as make Delta’s NDC technology solution available to all of Travelport’s agency customers,” said Jeff Lobl, Managing Director, Distribution Strategy and Agency Sales Programs at Delta Air Lines. “Together, we aim to create value by ensuring customers are presented with the best options to fit their needs for a better, more personalized shopping experience.”

To assist agencies in addressing the challenges of comparing NDC offers with traditional content, Travelport has recently introduced its Content Curation Layer (CCL). Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), Travelport’s CCL filters aggregated, multi-source content to provide a comprehensive range of accurate, easy-to-understand search results that are standardized for both agents and travelers. This latest enhancement to the Travelport+ platform streamlines the delivery of retail-ready content from partners such as Delta, offering customized options for agency clients and end travelers.

“Our renewed agreement with Delta underscores our shared commitment to modernizing travel retail for agents and travelers with a seamless, personalized shopping and servicing experience,” said Damian Hickey, Global Head of Travel Partners at Travelport. “As we prepare for the future delivery of Delta’s NDC content, our ability to deliver multi-source content in a retail-ready way ensures that agents and travelers will be able to easily shop and compare all of Delta’s product offerings in one place.”
