Ryanair announces first ‘OTA aggregator’ partnership with Paxport

After signing several ‘approved OTA’ partnerships in recent months, Ryanair has signed its first ‘approved OTA aggregator’ deal with Paxport.

Paxport is now authorised to offer Ryanair’s fares to its network of OTA partners, allowing them to provide full price transparency.

Thanks to this deal, customers who book Ryanair flights through Paxport’s OTA partners will also have access to their myRyanair account, without having to complete Ryanair’s customer verification forms.

Customers will then immediately receive essential flight updates.

This is Ryanair’s first partnership with an ‘approved OTA aggregator’.

Recently approved OTA partners that have signed up include Expedia, Etraveli, loveholidays, lastminute.com, Kiwi, TUI, On the Beach, eSky, El Corte Inglés and Braganza.

Dara Brady, Ryanair CMO, said: “We are delighted to announce our first approved OTA aggregator deal.”

“This agreement also ensures that customers who book a Ryanair flight through one of Paxport’s OTA partners will have access to their myRyanair account.”

Simon Taylor, Head of Commercial Affairs at Paxport, said: “Paxport will support Ryanair’s strategy for collaboration in the travel industry by facilitating controlled distribution to approved Paxport subscribers.”
