Indigo ties up with EAN for hotel booking

MUMBAI: India's biggest domestic carrier, IndiGo, today said it has tied-up with Expedia Affiliate Network ( EAN), which will enable its customers book their hotels across the country and overseas through the carrier's website with ease.

EAN's platform provides the airline with a targeted inventory from its global database of almost 1.60 lakh hotels to ensure its customers can find the most relevant hotels in their chosen destinations, a company release said here.

"With this collaboration customers will be able to book hotels using this platform at competitive prices and will have the convenience of getting instant confirmation with the selection of a variety of hotels," IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh said.

This partnership will also help the airline boost its ancillary revenue, Ghosh added.

The solution also gives travellers a competitive price, smooth navigation and instant confirmation on hotel deals across India and abroad, the company said.

The airline had earlier tied up with Carzonrent to offer cab booking services to its customers.
