Thomas Cook Group has chosen Travelport as its GDS provider in the UK.
The new, multi-year agreement, which follows a thorough tender process, will see Thomas Cook migrate all of its UK entities, including Gold Medal Travel, to the Galileo platform.
The two companies are also discussing further opportunities to extend their relationship outside of the UK.
Over the coming months, the two organisations will work closely together to ensure a seamless migration of the travel giant’s UK GDS business to Galileo. This includes all scheduled flight reservations made by Thomas Cook’s UK businesses such as Gold Medal Travel and its online brand - Netflights.com.
As part of the agreement, Thomas Cook will also implement a number of new Travelport products such as its ePricing low-fare shopping solution.
Up to six million extra holidays each year will be fully protected against the failure of a travel company under new measures announced in the UK.
