Germanwings Chooses Travelport E-Ticket Database Technology

Travelport has signed a new airline IT services agreement with Germanwings, the growing low-cost carrier owned by Deutsche Lufthansa AG and based in Cologne, Germany.

Germanwings has implemented the Travelport ETDBase, a leading e-ticket database hosting service in use by airlines globally to store and manage electronic ticket data for online and interline e-ticketing.

For the first time, the Travelport ETDBase gives Germanwings the ability to accept electronic tickets plated by Lufthansa Airlines and its accredited travel agencies for travel on Germanwings-operated flights.

?Germanwings is extremely satisfied with the speed and expertise with which Travelport brought us to market with this service,? said Ognjen Zeric, vice president, E-Commerce, Sales & Distribution, Germanwings. ?In today?s environment, proven e-ticket technologies are critical to partnerships, productivity, ROI and customer service. For this class of technology, we chose to partner with a very capable provider that has a leading global interline and online hub already in place.?

In addition to storing and managing e-ticket data for online and interline electronic ticketing, the ETDBase interfaces with the Travelport E-Ticket Interchange, one of the largest global e-ticketing facilities managing the exchange of interline electronic ticket messages between airline partners, including ground handlers. Airlines that use both the ETDBase and the E-Ticket Interchange have e-ticketing access to global distribution systems (GDS) worldwide and all other IET-enabled airlines.
