Since the naming of Brian Clark as CEO of Vayant, the company’s direction has take a right turn toward engaging market players regionally, like airBaltic, as well as partnerships and collaborations with industry leaders like 2e, and in March, HitchHiker (PDF), a leader in tourism digital solutions. Janis Vanags, airBaltic’s Vice President Corporate Communications, added her comments:
“Low ticket prices helped airBaltic achieve 16% growth last year of passengers travelling to/from the airlines 80 destinations in Europe, Middle East, and Russia/CIS. We are delighted that this partnership helps us to lower our operational costs, while offering a single integrated solution.”

We will cover the story further when the technologies are made available by the companies.
