Online hotel booking service for travel professionals B2B.Ostrovok launches sales of airline tickets on its platform - now the service's partners (travel agencies and operators, TMC, corporate clients) will be able to book hotels, cars, transfers, air tickets and other tourist services.
Felix Shpilman, CEO of Emerging Travel Group, which manages B2B.Ostrovok, commented: “For many of our clients, the launch of the air service was truly long-awaited — it will free B2B.Ostrovok partners from the need to use third-party services to book air tickets and will provide them with a large selection of travel products on a single platform with a user-friendly interface. For now, only our partners in Russia can purchase air tickets. By the end of the year, we plan to launch this service in foreign markets.”
All registered users of B2B.Ostrovok can already use the new service. At the moment, tickets for regular flights of more than 200 airlines around the world are available for ordering. Information about all booked and issued air tickets is stored in the "Air" section in your personal account.
In one order, a partner can book a flight for a group of up to nine people. There, there and back, and complex routes are available for booking. Payment for the air ticket is made from the travel agent's credit limit opened on B2B.Ostrovok. During the booking process, you can specify the details of the loyalty program card of a particular airline; points for the completed flight will be credited to the passenger's account in accordance with the airline's rules.
