Travelport announced the debut of the Content Curation Layer (CCL). The CCL uses AI to power search while trawling billions of trip options, helping agencies find the perfect match for their customers. As the latest enhancement to the innovative Travelport+ platform, CCL uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning (ML) to quickly deliver the right range of accurate, highly intuitive search results to its travel agency partners worldwide. “Travelport’s role in the increasingly complex travel industry is to take millions of pieces of disparate information and make it simple for both travel agencies and providers to understand, search, sell and service,” said Greg Webb, Chief Executive Officer at Travelport. “We believe AI and machine learning are powerful tools to do just that. The Content Curation Layer will allow travel agencies to provide travelers the right range of normalized, enriched, bookable content at speed, via a singular search screen. Used for all content sources (LCC, EDIFACT, NDC, hotel, car, etc.), the CCL allows agents to compare apples to oranges in an apples-to-apples way.” Travelport’s Content Curation Layer is a powerful tech-enabler that uses AI and ML to sift through aggregated, multi-source content and returns search results faster than the average airline search response time. It identifies the most relevant offers for each traveler to create a faster, more intelligent search experience for the agent. This technology layer simplifies the delivery of retail-ready content to agencies and helps them curate options that are most desirable for the travelers. One of the key features of the CCL is the Content Optimizer, a new Travelport+ product that offers agency customers greater control over all content types, including both traditional and NDC content.

Travelport announced a new partnership with AJet (formerly AnadoluJet), the low-cost carrier (LCC) brand from Turkish Airlines, that brings more enriched multi-source content to agency customers. As part of the new agreement, Travelport delivered simplified access to AJet’s wide range of content in the Travelport+ platform so that agents can easily shop, compare and book domestic and international fares from AJet. In March 2024, Turkish Airlines re-launched AnadoluJet ticket sales under the new brand AJet, which aims to make the airline experience more modern, comfortable, and accessible for travelers. “Travelport+ will propel our growth in the market as we introduce new routes and cater to more passengers with our fleet of modern eco-friendly aircrafts,” said Kerem Sarp, Chief Executive Officer at AJet. “We value our new partnership because Travelport shares our vision of creating modern experiences for travelers, aligning closely with our priorities as we expand our offerings for agencies and travelers. We currently operate 173 routes, covering 89 destinations across 32 countries with our Istanbul SAW and Ankara ESB airport hubs. Additionally, we are considering increasing our aircraft fleet to 100 by the end of the year.” “Adding LCC content from AJet to Travelport+ provides our agency customers with greater selling opportunities and more choice for travelers flying within Türkiye and to destinations across Europe and Middle East,” said Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport. “Travelport will help AJet reach new markets and more customers with our ability to deliver multi-source content and modern merchandizing tools that agencies need to sell the right offers to the right customers at the right time.” AJet’s LCC content and agent servicing capabilities are now available to Travelport agency customers …
