Travelport, a leading travel commerce platform, has signed a new, extended agreement with IATI Travel, based in Turkey.
The new multi-year agreement sees Travelport as its preferred travel commerce platform, giving access to global travel provider content and industry leading technology to IATI worldwide. Travelport will support its operations while extending the geographical reach of the partnership to cover Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
The company’s high performance is powered by Travelport Universal API (uAPI) technology. This aggregates the most comprehensive content from multiple sources, including national and low-cost carriers, branded fares and ancillary services, as well as unique hotel properties, rail and car rental. This provides IATI with access to both unrivalled content and functionality through a single connection.

We are pleased to have Travelport as our preferred technology partner and have great confidence in its extensive reach and expertise, so we can further focus on expanding our business across the globe.”
