This is great news for Paxport's OTA partners whose customers wish to book Ryanair's low fares, unbeatable choice of 240+ destinations, and impeccable service. Paxport is Ryanair's first “Approved OTA aggregator” partner, joining the airlines growing list of “Approved OTA” partners, including Expedia, Etraveli, loveholidays, lastminute.com, Kiwi, TUI, On the Beach, eSky, El Corte Inglés and Braganza, as the airline continues to demonstrate how OTAs and OTA aggregators can work transparently with airlines without scamming or duping customers with hidden mark-ups.
Ryanair's CMO, Dara Brady said:
“We are pleased to announce our first “Approved OTA Aggregator” partnership with Paxport. Through this exciting new agreement, Paxport will be authorised to offer Ryanair's low fare flights to their network of OTA partners on the condition that they provide full price transparency. This agreement also guarantees that customers who book a Ryanair flight through one of Paxport's OTA partners will have access to their myRyanair account without needing to complete Ryanair's customer verification and will receive all essential flight updates directly.
We look forward to working with Paxport over the coming months and years.”
Simon Taylor, Head of Commercial at Paxport said:
“The entire Paxport business is excited to partner with Ryanair, Europe's No.1 airline. By providing leading airline distribution technology, Paxport will support Ryanair's travel trade partnership strategy by facilitating controlled distribution to approved Paxport subscribers. This is a significant milestone for both parties, with Paxport becoming the first flight aggregation business to enter such an agreement. We look forward to building on this partnership and supporting both Ryanair and the wider travel industry.”
