Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Blue Trumpet Codeshare Accord Using Hassle-Free Revolutionary Technology

Virgin Atlantic announced it has teamed up with its Australian sister airline Virgin Blue for a codeshare agreement effective from the end of July onward.

In keeping with both Virgin airlines´ history of innovation, the codeshare is possible due to cutting-edge technological breakthroughs.

The teams of Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Blue and Navitaire will roll out new codeshare technology successfully linking the unique Navitaire "Open Skies" reservations system used by Virgin Blue and many of the world´s low-cost carriers with the more complex traditional reservations system used by Virgin Atlantic.

"This dynamic new codeshare partnership sees the marrying of two airlines with a history of award-winning service and innovative products," Virgin Atlantic Head of Asia Pacific, Mackenzie Grant, said.

For his part, Virgin Blue´s CEO Brett Godfrey said: "It´s an exciting step forward as it streamlines the process of booking, thus making it easier for travel agents to book our passengers on both airlines."
