Travelport, the business services provider to the global travel industry and Cimber Sterling, the Danish-based airline, have today jointly announced the launch of a new service that will enable Travelport-connected travel agents to book pre-paid bags on Cimber Sterling flights.

Cimber Sterling operates more than 1,000 flights per week and carries 2.5 million passengers per year to domestic and European destinations.

“Travelport is committed to working with airlines and travel agents to provide access to various ancillary services and we are delighted to have launched this innovative tool for Cimber Sterling,” said Mathias Andersson, Country Manager Travelport Nordics. “We support the ATPCO ancillary services standards, but can also offer API-based models to address airline’s individual requirements”.

We are delighted with Travelport’s ability to work with us to deliver a service that fits our needs perfectly and enables our customers to book this extra service”.
