Travelport GDS, OAG Sign Deal for Airline Data Supply

OAG has signed a long term contract to provide its consolidated global airline schedule and minimum connect time (MCT) data to Travelport. Travelport’s Galileo and Worldspan GDS platforms will continue to have full access to OAG data under the terms of the licensing agreement.

The information will be used by the GDS provider’s network of customers across the globe including on and offline travel agencies, corporations and travel suppliers. OAG will also provide regular feeds of reference information along with a special data file tailored specifically for Travelport’s Business Intelligence Suite.

OAG already has a separate agreement to supply data to online travel company Orbitz Worldwide, which is part-owned by Travelport.
