Vayant Travel Technologies is to start offering budget airline fares from around 80 carriers in a deal with Pyton Communication Services.

The tie-up means online shopping services powered by Vayant will now be able to provide customers with low-cost and traditional airline fares simultaneously.

Vayant will integrate Pyton’s Elsy Arres low-cost API into all Vayant product lines.

Pyton will handle bookings for low-cost carrier tickets, providing the technical interface between Vayant’s shopping system and the low-cost airlines’ reservation systems.

“We believe that this partnership will bring travel sellers that are using the Vayant and Pyton technologies together unique competitive advantages in the market place.”
