JETSTAR has beefed up its distribution network in China by making its fares available to local consumers via Ctrip, the country’s largest online travel retailer, and to local travel consultants via TravelSky’s Eterm GDS.
“Our presence on Ctrip, China’s leading travel portal with more than 50 million registered users, creates improved access for our growing number of Chinese customers,” said Jetstar group CCO, David Koczkar.
In addition, the listing of Jetstar inventory on TravelSky’s Eterm GDS means that the airline’s fares and ancillary products are now available via over 7,000 travel agencies across China.
Meanwhile, local travel agencies also have the option of booking Jetstar fares through a new customised trade website, which provides direct bank debit in RMB for all Jetstar Group airlines flying to China.
“Working with our travel industry partners to ensure our low fares are easy to access for consumers is a key priority as we look to strengthen our presence on routes to-and-from China,” said Koczkar.
