Vistara extends distribution agreement with Amadeus

Amadeus and Vistara have renewed a multi-year distribution agreement that guarantees Vistara’s travel agency partners continued access to the airline’s full range of fares and prices through Amadeus.

Vistara is the first full service carrier in India to have launched branded fares - packaged combinations of fares, services and flexibility that makes it easier for travelers to pick what best suits their needs. Amadeus Airline Fare Families supports Vistara in making its branded fares, called Vistara Freedom Fares, available through the Amadeus distribution channel.

Amadeus Fare Families will empower travel agents with clear, structured information they need to advise their customers and proactively upsell from one fare family to the other based on each traveler’s needs and preferences. Vistara will also be looking at integrating ancillary services in the future as part of their product offerings.
This partnership will enable Vistara to further grow its customer base by continuing to connect to travelers globally through the world’s largest community of travel sellers and buyers. By connecting to Amadeus’ innovative travel platform, Vistara is able to define and deliver enhanced offers, including rich content, to travel agents and travelers.  The airline is also now able to differentiate its travel offers beyond just price, while ensuring that agencies and travelers have all the information at hand in order to make the right purchasing decisions.
Sanjiv Kapoor, Chief Strategy & Commercial Officer, Vistara, commented, “We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Amadeus. Travel agencies are a key part of our strategy to serve our customers through the channel of their choice, both in India and internationally.
