Travelport has acquired Dublin-based company Mobile Travel Technologies (MTT).
MTT provides mobile travel platforms and products that allows airlines, hotels, TMCs and agencies to engage with their customers through tailored mobile services.
Its clients include Easyjet, Singapore Airlines, Saudia, BCD Travel, Capita Travel and Events and the LATAM Airlines Group.
Travelport’s president and CEO Gordon Wilson said it’s a “natural extension” of the company’s travel commerce strategy.
“Adding MTT as an expanded capability to our existing travel commerce platform extends our reach further, and at the higher value add end of the service spectrum for our airline, hotel, travel management company and travel agency clients,” said Wilson.
“At the same time, MTT will benefit from the network effect of Travelport in terms of infrastructure, our relationships with additional prospective clients and access to our industry leading content.”
Travelport will run MTT as a wholly owned subsidiary and retain existing CEO Gerry Samuels, along with his senior team.
