Retailaer Announces Implementation of Travel Agency Connect Platform to Boost Air Europa’s NDC Program

  • Retailaer Connect platform enables Air Europa’s Travel Agency partners to shop and book via a user interface that expands on its NDC program
  • Retailaer operates a Passenger Service Systems (PSS) distribution and retailing platform allowing airlines to implement regardless of current infrastructure and business processes
  • Key features of Retailaer’s Connect Platform include the ability to sell ancillaries, third party products and services, access dynamic discounting, dynamic bundling, work in a multi PNR environment, and earn rewards through a centralised wallet

London, 2nd July, 2025, Retailaer, the airline retailing and distribution platform, today announced the first phase of its integration with Air Europa, providing travel agents worldwide with a seamless shopping and servicing experience that integrates flights, ancillaries, and third-party services in Retailaer’s comprehensive Offer and Order Management System (OMS).  This initial launch in Spain, with a selected number of partners, is part of Air Europa’s plans for a global rollout later in the year.

The partnership sets a new standard in the airline industry, demonstrating how modern technologies can deliver a more responsive and personalised experience for travel agents booking with airlines. As part of this collaboration with Air Europa, Retailaer’s open and modular approach supports other retail technology partners including PROS market leading Group Sales Optimiser solution and IATA.

“We are very pleased to have Retailaer’s platform in place to connect with our content to further extend our NDC journey, and the relationship with our partners around the world. This is a further step in line with the targets we have set in helping the user to decide how they want to access our content, which is reflected in our campaign slogan ‘You decide’. The possibility of accessing our content via our Travel Agency portal, NDC or GDS makes shopping with Air Europa easier than ever,” says Yago Casasnovas, Head of Payments, Fraud Prevention and Distribution at Air Europa.  

“We are proud to support Air Europa in building a more efficient, relevant, and connected retail experience for the travel trade. Air Europa’s adoption of the Connect platform demonstrates how airlines can unlock new value for its agency network without being constrained by legacy infrastructure,” said Anders Lofgren, Co-founder and CEO of Retailaer.  “At Retailaer, we believe the future of airline retailing lies in adaptability, agility, speed to market and true partner enablement.”
