Sirena-Travel entered into strategic partnership with Travelport in July 2010 to enhance its strong domestic content by Travelport’s broad international content.
For international airlines working with Travelport, operator of both the Galileo and Worldspan GDS platforms, the new Sirena-Travel/Travelport tie-up gives them deeper distribution throughout Russia via Sirena-Travel's large network of travel agencies spanning 7,000 locations across the country. Included in this network are numerous small, regional, travel businesses which have previously been unable to sell international flight of more than 135 airlines. Sirena-Travel users, which implemented terminals of international reservation systems for sales of international travel content, can now avoid additional expenses associated with the use of other GDS terminals.
