Virtual interline specialist Dohop and NDC and low cost fares aggregator Travelfusion are to work together to simplify access for travellers to itineraries combining airlines.
Dohop technology enables carrier schedules to work together outside of traditional interline agreement and legacy systems.
The partners said the collaboration brings together Dohop’s expertise in alternative interlining and Travelfusion’s extensive distribution network, “making it easier than ever to unlock multi-airline travel options”.
Linda Bryndísardóttir, vice president of business development in B2B at Dohop, said: “This is an exciting new partnership for us.
“Travelfusion has long been a key player in distributing low-cost and NDC content, and by combining forces, we’re making it simpler for partners to tap into the benefits of alternative interlining without having to build complex solutions from scratch.”
All journeys created through the partnership will be covered by ConnectSure, a travel protection designed to safeguard passengers on self-connecting and alternative interline journeys.
Eytan Bicaci Baruh, vice president commercial at Travelfusion, added: “Partnering with Dohop allows us to expand our offering with a new category of connected content that is innovative and increasingly sought after.
“We’re excited to give our partners access to alternative interline connections that open up more flexible options for travellers.
“This partnership will allow us to offer an unparalleled selection of routes and more competitive pricing, ultimately creating a more convenient and accessible travel experience for all our agency customers.”
