Expedia Affiliate Network, Air China sign deal

Air China has signed an exclusive partnership with the Expedia Affiliate Network (EAN).

This exclusive deal marks the first time that Air China has worked with a partner to offer global customers accommodation.

Through this partnership, customers across 27 markets, including the UAE, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Russia, the UK and USA, can now book hotels at the same time as booking flights.

EAN’s content will be localised across global markets, with Expedia providing local language customer service support.

Jens Uwe Parkitny, managing director of EAN APAC, said that one of the major reasons behind this deal was the “ease of integration and usability of our interface”.
