IndiGo, India's largest domestic airline and one of the world's fastest growing low cost carriers, and Travelport, a leading Travel Commerce Platform, have today announced a strategic partnership which will see Ind'Go distribute all of its fares and ancillary products to Travelport-connected customers worldwide.

This is the first time that IndiGo has struck a deal with a global GDS, and the choice of Travelport as its distribution partner reflects the value the airline sees in Travelport's Travel Commerce Platform. The platform offers fully integrated, industry leading merchandising capabilities and is used extensively by travel agencies in India as well as other key target markets for IndiGo.

IndiGo, which commenced operations in 2006 with a single aircraft, now operates a fleet of 112 aircraft including the new Airbus A320 Neos with 424 more on order. Its approach has been to offer "low fares, on-time flights and a hassle-free experience".

Shares of the company gained Rs 5.15, or 0.60%, to trade at  Rs 874.15.  The total volume of shares traded  was  40,598 at the BSE (3.04 p.m., Thursday).
