British Airways, Travelport Agree on New Full-Content Deal

Travelport, one of the world’s leading providers of global distribution systems (GDS) and operator of both the Galileo and Worldspan platforms, is the first GDS provider to reach a new long-term, global full-content agreement with British Airways.

The new agreement, which takes immediate effect, will see all of British Airways’ published fares and inventory made available to Galileo- and Worldspan-connected travel agents worldwide until April 2013.

In the U.K. and Ireland, the opt-in levels that were established by Travelport in March 2007 remain unchanged. Travelport and British Airways will also work together in the coming months on providing Galileo and Worldspan-connected travel agents with the ability to book extras such as seating through the GDS.
