Travelport and KDS Extend Agreement

Travelport and KDS, an international provider of travel and expense management systems, have signed a new, extended agreement. As part of the enhanced relationship, KDS and Travelport aim to bring the benefits of Travelport’s open platform and Universal API to KDS customers. To progress this approach, KDS has become a member of the Travelport Developer Network, which was established just over 12 months ago to facilitate the faster introduction of innovative new applications to Travelport’s 67,000 travel agency customers worldwide. Through its membership of the Travelport Developer Network, KDS plans to adopt Travelport’s Universal API and will also have access to a wide range of software resources, dedicated technical support and an entry in the Travelport Developer Directory. The deal also gives Travelport the ability to continue providing KDS Portal and KDS Corporate to both its travel management company customers and its corporate subscribers.
