TripStack, a travel technology solutions leader and Etraveli Group (ETG) member, is launching its Self-Connect product for airlines. The companies have announced that Nok Air will adopt this solution. Also known as Virtual Interlining, Self-Connect revolutionizes and enables airlines to expand their reach and offer customers more destinations.
Self-Connect, or Virtual Interlining (VI), seamlessly combines flights from different carriers to create itineraries that serve a global range of destinations. This allows airlines to grow their network, providing customers access to additional travel destinations not served by their origin airline. Airlines establish interlining agreements to simplify bookings. This allows passengers to book multiple legs of a journey operated by partners on a single ticket. Virtual Interlining facilitates similar unified bookings for airlines that don’t have established interline agreements in place. It also enhances the airline’s market presence and generates a new revenue stream through TripStack’s commercial model.
Nok Air, a popular Thai airline, has partnered with TripStack for its new service, “NokGo.” This collaboration reinforces Nok Air’s dedication to innovation and improving travel experiences. With TripStack’s Self-Connect solution, Nok Air aims to enhance customer satisfaction and provide more convenient travel options.
More Flexibility for Nok Air Passengers
“We are excited to announce our partnership with TripStack, which will provide our Nok Air passengers with a more flexible choice of travel options across the Globe. With this new platform, we wish to take flight connectivity to the next level for our passengers by offering them more flights to more destinations.” Said Dr Wutthiphum Jurangkool, Chief Executive Officer, NokAir.
Gabor Toth, CEO of TripStack, emphasized the significance of this collaboration. He said: “We are thrilled to be working with a forward-thinking airline such as Nok Air, which understands the growth opportunity for virtual interlining solutions in global markets. We look forward to further collaborating with Nok Air, expanding their service, and providing Nok Air with new commercial opportunities.”
TripStack and NokAir are collaborating to transform how airlines work and interact with passengers. Through virtual interlining, TripStack aims to show airlines the benefits of the Self-Connect solution. This will help the airline improve services and stay competitive in the global aviation market.
