Travelport has announced a new multiyear agreement with Scottish regional airline Loganair serving around 40 destinations across the UK, Republic of Ireland and Norway to distribute its content globally. This will include Loganair’s famed operation of the world’s only scheduled commercial service using a beach at Barra Airport in Scotland.
Under the agreement, Loganair will now promote its full inventory of branded content and ancillaries to Travelport-connected agencies in 180 countries. Loganair also takes advantage of Travelport’s next generation of merchandising and technology, Travelport Rich Content and Branding to differentiate the airline and create new revenue opportunities. The groundbreaking merchandizing solution currently used by approximately 230 network and low cost carriers worldwide, maximizes the potential for airlines to stand out from the competition and enables agents to personalize offerings based on content.
Kay Ryan, Commercial Director at Loganair said: “The signing of this agreement and partnership with Travelport strategically coincides with a new era of advanced operations for Loganair. To that end, Travelport’s innovative technology and solutions will greatly support our business to optimize its value proposition, maximize growth and strengthen its brand name in the United Kingdom and overseas.”
