• While travellers increasingly use conversational AI to plan trips, most booking systems were not built for this shift, causing breakdowns at the point of purchase. Travelport’s initiative directly links AI discovery to live inventory, pricing, and servicing.

• Anthropic provides Claude’s large-context reasoning, safety, and reliability for high-stakes travel transactions.
• Cognizant brings enterprise-scale AI delivery to ensure the initiative moves beyond a proof-of-concept into real-world implementation.

1. Internal engineering: Claude will accelerate software design, testing, and maintenance, boosting delivery speed and code quality.
2. The Travelport platform: AI capabilities become native features for airlines, agencies, and OTAs, eliminating the need for them to build their own AI stacks.

“This is not a statement of intent,” Travelport stated. “We are becoming the infrastructure layer for AI-driven travel commerce.” The work begins immediately, with customers expected to see new AI-powered capabilities in the coming months.

Our AI-powered platform Travelport+ provides that, by being:

Faster

Travelport+ delivers lightning-fast, industry-leading search speeds. With time-saving tools like Productivity Automator and an AI-powered Content Curation Layer, we cut through complexity to surface exactly what you need — instantly, supporting accelerated workflows and seamless booking processes.

With AI and machine learning embedded in the platform, agents can swiftly collate, filter, and present the right offer to the right traveler at the right time. Our smart tools use simple, configurable rules to cut through excess information and complexity, helping you focus on what truly converts, enhancing flight search optimization and booking efficiency.

Disclaimer: Outcomes may vary based on agency size, rules applied, and operating conditions. The results cited are drawn from a case study with a large consolidator agency, measured between 20 January and 8 March 2025, and reflect a percentage change in relevant bookings before and after the implementation of platform rules.

Easier

We make it easy for agencies to search, view, compare, book, and service multi-source content — including air, NDC, ancillaries, hotels, cars, rail, and virtually unlimited fare options. Finding and booking exactly what you need is faster and simpler than ever, supported by intuitive user interfaces and end-to-end servicing capabilities.
