Travelport, the leading travel commerce technology platform, and FCM Travel Solutions (FCM) yesterday, announced an expanded long-term technology partnership.

Under the new agreement, FCM will extend its relationship with Travelport to include the provision of the company's Universal API technology.

With over 260 airlines using Travelport's platform, FCM will benefit from being able to display, gain insights from and sell branded fare families and ancillary products from the airlines.

As the first global distribution system operator to be certified by IATA as a "Level 3" Aggregator under its New Distribution Capability (NDC) initiative, Travelport will soon provide additional benefits to the company by creating NDC connections with airlines as they become available.

Kenyan owned, FCM Travel Solutions is one of the world's leading corporate travel management providers. In Africa, it is ranked among the top Travel Management Companies.
