American Airlines chooses Worldspan as long-term distributor of fare and inventory content

Worldspan and American Airlines have signed a new five-year content distribution agreement.

The travel technology services company also shared that in conjunction with the agreement, Worldspan has developed two new optional products to introduce into the marketplace.

Through this new agreement, agencies will have the opportunity to access American Airlines’ comprehensive published fares, inventory, and availability. This includes all published fares that the airline sells through AA.com, any third party website or other distribution system, as well as private fares, where applicable.

This new agreement will be implemented by August 1, 2006.

David Cush, senior vice president-Global Sales for American Airlines attributed the decision to  “Worldspan’s expertise and historic ability to manage the demands of a global carrier with multi-channel distribution needs”.
