(NEWS) LONDON, 2026-Feb-12 — /Travel PR News/ — Travelport and LOT Polish Airlines have signed a new multi-year content agreement that will expand the airline’s digital distribution strategy through Travelport’s global network of travel agencies and travel management companies. Based on details shared in the official announcement, the deal will make LOT’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) content available to agents using Travelport+, the company’s modern retailing platform.
The agreement builds on a relationship spanning more than 30 years between the two companies. With the NDC implementation scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2026, Travelport-connected agencies will gain access to LOT’s full range of un-surcharged content, including fares and ancillary services, across the airline’s network linking Central and Eastern Europe to destinations worldwide.
Travelport+ users will be able to view and compare LOT’s fares and services alongside other airline content within a single interface. According to Travelport, the platform’s enhanced search capabilities — now averaging 0.84 seconds and 23% faster than before — are designed to help agents book more efficiently while improving revenue and margin opportunities.
LOT Polish Airlines described the move as a significant milestone in its modern distribution roadmap. Arkadiusz Gawryluk, the airline’s Digital, Distribution and Loyalty Director, said the rollout strengthens LOT’s NDC capabilities and provides travel agencies with streamlined access to its complete commercial offering.
Travelport’s Global Head of Travel Partners, Damian Hickey, characterised the agreement as a reaffirmation of a long-standing partnership and a shared commitment to ensuring travel buyers have comprehensive access to LOT’s competitive content.
The agreement with LOT Polish Airlines is the latest in a series of high-profile NDC partnerships secured by Travelport over the past year, underscoring the company’s accelerating role in modern airline retailing.
In February 2026, Oman Air strengthened its three-decade partnership with Travelport by adding NDC distribution to its existing EDIFACT agreement. Travelport became the first modern travel retailer to secure an NDC distribution agreement with the carrier, enabling agencies to access Oman Air’s full portfolio of dynamic pricing, rich content and ancillary services through Travelport+. The move was positioned as a key milestone in Oman Air’s digital transformation and broader tourism growth ambitions.
Late last year, Travelport also signed a multi-year distribution agreement with Riyadh Air, the digitally native Saudi Arabian carrier backed by the Public Investment Fund. Under that agreement, Riyadh Air selected NDC as its primary integration model, with Travelport connecting directly to its Offer and Order host system. The partnership reflects a broader shift toward retail-ready distribution models as new-generation airlines build their commercial infrastructure around dynamic, personalized content from inception.
In December 2025, All Nippon Airways (ANA) rolled out NDC distribution across 40 global markets via Travelport+, giving agencies access to its full range of products and ancillary services. The launch marked one of the largest multi-market NDC deployments in the region and reinforced Travelport’s position in Asia-Pacific.
Combined with earlier integrations including Air Canada and EVA Air, these agreements illustrate Travelport’s strategy of building a multi-source retail environment that supports both legacy carriers and emerging airlines as they modernize distribution. The LOT partnership further expands that footprint into Central and Eastern Europe, strengthening Travelport’s NDC portfolio across key global markets.
