Ryanair has expanded its portfolio of online travel agent (OTA) booking partnerships, with an agreement with leading international one-stop shop travel service provider Trip.com.
Trip.com owns and operates the TrainPal, TripBiz, BudgetAir, CheapTickets, Vliegwinkel, Vayama, and Flugladen platforms. This collaboration will allow Trip.com Group to offer Ryanair’s low-fare flights to travellers as part of their dynamic product offerings.
Ryanair’s CMO, Dara Brady, said: “We are pleased to announce our latest “Approved OTA” partnership with Trip.com – one of the largest travel service providers in the world – adding to our growing list of “Approved OTA” partners. Through this new agreement, Trip.com customers will be able to book Ryanair’s low-fare flights with the guarantee of full price transparency and direct access to their booking. We look forward to working with Trip.com and carrying their customers onboard our market-leading network of Ryanair flights in the months ahead.”
Trip.com Group’s VP Global Flights Business and CEO of Travix, Chee Teong Ooi, said: “We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with Ryanair, which not only broadens our range of low-fare flights but also enhances the overall travel experience for our customers. By combining Ryanair’s extensive network with Trip.com’s innovative technology, we are well-positioned to offer a seamless, personalised booking experience that meets the diverse needs of today’s travellers. This collaboration is a significant step in our mission to provide exceptional value and convenience to travellers around the world.”
