IndiGo, India\u2019s largest carrier by market share, expects a jump in their revenues with their partnership with Travelport, a travel commerce platform, which will give the airline access to over 180 countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything that takes our product to a larger audience will have a positive impact,\u201d IndiGo President Aditya Ghosh told ET.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always hoping that it does increase our average fares,\u201d he replied on a question on whether this partnership would lead to an increase in average fares.<\/p>\n
Explaining the impact of the move, Gordon Wilson, President and CEO of Travelport said that the other low-cost carriers have seen an increase in their average fares.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe business that we generate for other low-cost carriers like RyanAir is we get them corporate travellers, who do not book the cheapest fare but based on their convenience.<\/p>\n
Average fares that we generate fares for Ryan Air is 2x of their normal fair. I would expect a similar kind of dynamics for IndiGo,\u201d Wilson told ET.<\/p>\n
IndiGo and Travelport today said that the airline\u2019s inventory will be available on Travelport from today onwards. This will offer IndiGo\u2019s flight inventory and ancillary products to portal’s customers.<\/p>\n
This distribution platform will enable IndiGo to provide its content via an API (application program interface) connection than the more traditional fare filing methods.<\/p>\n
The strategic partnership will also help IndiGo reach customers in international markets as it continues to expand its route network into destinations in the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East and South East Asia, IndiGo had said in a release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
