Low-cost airline fastjet has secured two new agreements with global travel search and comparison company Skyscanner and Hahn Air Systems, expanding access for travel agents worldwide to book and sell its flights, as well as boosting fastjet’s exposure to agencies significantly.

“Continuing our success in establishing fastjet as a true low-cost airline, we now want to expand access to our affordable pan-African flights to travel agents worldwide. Our new partners will benefit from fastjet's drive for cost-efficient global distribution in both traditional and digital arenas,” said fastjet commercial head Ellis Cain-Jones.

The airline’s partnership with Skyscanner, which boasted over 25-million website visitors a month, would enable consumers to compare fastjet's flight schedules and prices against those of other African carriers on Skyscanner’s website, as well as link to fastjet’s website to book flights.

The low-cost carrier's deal with Hahn Air would see fastjet feature on the main global distribution systems, including Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport, next month, giving the airline access to over 90 000 travel agencies worldwide.
