“Travelport’s first half performance was in line with management’s expectations. I’m particularly pleased with the Company’s strong cash flow growth during the period.
“During the quarter, our GDS business increased its year-on-year segment volumes by 5% due to the rebound in corporate travel and strong growth in the Asia Pacific region. We advanced a number of key product developments, including the roll-out of a new version of Travelport e-Pricing and Travelport Universal Desktop. We are also completing the migration of two major GDS contracts, with Thomas Cook, in the UK, and Carlson Wagonlit, in India, and we have further enhanced our geographic footprint through a strategic partnership with Sirena-Travel, Russia’s leading domestic GDS.
“GTA had a terrific quarter with 20% growth in room nights and 24% growth in Segment Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis.”
