Accelya announced Monday at the Global Business Travel Association Conference in Atlanta that WestJet has signed a new multi-year agreement to deliver its New Distribution Capability content through Accelya’s FLX platform. Accelya did not say when WestJet’s NDC content would be available.
“We’ve been working with a lot of travel agencies so that they can connect with each other so that when you get new customers, you can get them up and running faster and get their partners up and running and using the technology,” Accelya CEO Sam Gilliland told BTN. “I think we’re ready to do whatever it takes to make sure [travel management companies] They especially feel that they are getting the skills and capabilities they need, either directly from us or through [global distribution systems]A lot of TMCs like that, so we’re focusing on that a lot, and I think WestJet is too.”
Accelya claims it will enable more than half of the world’s NDC transactions by 2023, according to consultancy T2RL.
