India’s travel industry leaders gathered in New Delhi yesterday to mark the official launch of IndiGo’s fares and ancillaries on Travelport’s (NYSE:TVPT) leading Travel Commerce Platform in India. IndiGo is India’s largest domestic airline and one of the world’s fastest growing low cost carriers. In a GDS-industry first, IndiGo announced in September that it had signed a strategic partnership to distribute its low fares and ancillaries to all connected Travelport travel agencies around the world – both online and offline. The Travelport platform offers fully integrated, industry leading merchandising capabilities and is used extensively by travel agencies in India as well as other key target markets for IndiGo. The agreement comes when advances in travel technology are empowering traditional retailers to be more competitive.2 India’s economic growth accelerated in 2015 reaching an average of 7.3%, meaning the 7th largest economy registered the fastest GDP growth rate in the world.
