SpiceJet, Galileo sign pact for access to low fares
SpiceJet will now provide low fares and inventory on the Galileo GDS platform.
The no-frills airline currently offers over 2,80,000 seats a month on its present network. With the planned capacity increase towards the year-end, the capacity will almost double to 500,000 seats.
The airline joint over 33 other low-cost carriers around the world that are using Galileo GDS as a distribution channel.
With a tie-up with Galileo, SpiceJet expects to have a significant contribution to its sales volumes through a network of Galileo connected agents.
“The strategic move allows us to be more accessible to over 50,000 travel agents throughout the world,” said SpiceJet’s chief executive officer Siddhanta Sharma.
