All of these agreements have terms of at least five years. Galileo already has similar deals in place with carriers such as British Airways, Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic and Qantas.

Holman went on to say that ”We are focused on reaching agreements with airlines that address their distribution objectives and at the same time enable our travel agency partners to offer their customers the very best fares. Full content gives all parties involved in travel distribution security and sustainability in their business models going forward, whether they are GDSs, airlines or travel agencies. This is well-illustrated by the longevity of the deals we have entered into with the US majors.” Notes to editors: Travelport was formerly known as Cendant Travel Distribution Services (TDS).
