Ryanair approves first online travel agent aggregator partner
Ryanair has approved its first online travel agent aggregator with its new partnership with Paxport. The condition of the deal requires the travel agent to provide ""full price transparency"" on Ryanair's products. The deal also ensures customers who book through Paxport's approved online travel agent partners will have access to their Ryanair booking account without needing to complete further verification. ""This is a significant milestone for both parties, with Paxport becoming the first flight aggregation business to enter such an agreement,"" said Paxport head of commercial Simon Taylor. Ryanair's chief marketing officer commented: ""This agreement also guarantees that customers who book a Ryanair flight through one of Paxport’s OTA partners will have access to their myRyanair account without needing to complete Ryanair’s customer verification and will receive all essential flight updates directly."" The agreement adds on to Ryanair's recent partnerships with approved online travel agents consisting of Expedia, Etraveli, loveholidays, lastminute.com, Kiwi, TUI, On the Beach, eSky, El Corte Ingles, and Braganza. The low-cost carrier has been at odds with unapproved online travel agents selling its products for marked up prices.
