Emerging Travel Group narrows in on flights offering with newly elevated Travelport partnership

This comes ahead of peak summer season

Emerging Travel Group, a global travel tech company operating RateHawk, ZenHotels and Rountrip brands, strengthens its flight offering by expanding its integration with Travelport. 

This will simplify post-booking management for travel professionals, including ticket issuing, voiding, and voluntary refunds. 

he company started its focus on flights by integrating Travelport’s supply in 2025, adding air tickets from its platform to RateHawk, a multi-product booking platform for travel professionals, and Roundtrip, an all-in-one solution for corporate travel.

On both platforms, travel agents and travel managers can also access fares and content from Travelport’s GDS, including NDC content from some of the airlines.

“Direct access to various offers from airlines is essential for travel professionals, as it allows them to manage clients’ itineraries and make adjustments without additional communication with third-party providers," said Fredrik Bonnalt, head of non-accommodation supply at Emerging Travel Group.

"This also accelerates the booking process and their customer service. Our extended partnership with Travelport gives our partners this necessary convenience, and it's especially timely for the peak season."

Jason Toothman, Travelport’s chief commercial officer, added: “Our expanding relationship with Emerging Travel Group reflects the growing demand for seamless, end-to-end air content management within a single workflow. 

"TripServices, Travelport’s platform for building and managing travel products, gives travel professionals the tools to access, book and manage content at speed, and it is also the platform through which our recently announced collaboration with Cognizant and Anthropic comes to life," he said.

"That collaboration brings deeper AI capability into the workflows and features travel builders rely on every day, reducing manual effort, sharpening decisions and delivering more relevant experiences for travellers.”

Apart from the continuous collaboration with Travelport, Emerging Travel Group has strategic plans to get IATA accreditation for several legal entities across the globe. 

Its first accreditation has already been obtained in Germany.
