Ryanair partners with Atlas as its third “Approved OTA Aggregator”

Ryanair announced its “Approved OTA Aggregator” partnership with Atlas, a global travel tech company specializing in low-cost carriers’ (LCC) content distribution who will now be authorised to offer Ryanair’s low fare flights to their network of OTA partners, on the condition that they provide full price transparency of Ryanair products. This deal will also ensure that customers who book Ryanair flights through Atlas’s OTA partners have access to their myRyanair account without needing to complete Ryanair’s customer verification (which unauthorised OTA customers must continue to do) and will receive essential flight updates directly.

This is great news for Atlas’s OTA partners whose customers wish to book Ryanair’s low fares, unbeatable choice of 230+ destinations, and impeccable service. Atlas is Ryanair’s third “Approved OTA aggregator” partner that will serve both European and Asian markets, and joins the airline’s growing list of “Approved OTA” partners, including Expedia, Etraveli, loveholidays, lastminute.com, Travelfusion, Paxport, Kiwi, TUI, On the Beach, eSky, El Corte Inglés, Omio, Trip.com and Braganza, as the airline continues to demonstrate how OTAs and OTA aggregators can work transparently with airlines without scamming or duping customers with hidden mark-ups.

Ryanair’s CMO, Dara Brady said: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with Atlas as an Approved OTA Aggregator. This exciting agreement authorises Atlas to distribute Ryanair’s low-fare flights through its network of OTA partners, provided they maintain full price transparency for consumers. This agreement also guarantees that customers who book a Ryanair flight through one of Atlas’s OTA partners will have access to their myRyanair account without needing to complete Ryanair’s customer verification and will receive all essential flight updates directly. We look forward to working with Atlas over the coming months and years.”

Clive Ashmore Butler, Chief Customer Officer at Atlas said: “Atlas is proud to announce our strategic partnership with Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline and one of the world’s leading low-cost carriers. Through this agreement, Atlas will make Ryanair’s high-quality content – including flights and ancillaries – available to travelers worldwide via our trusted distribution network of OTAs, TMCs, and TIPs.

For travel sellers connected to the Atlas platform, this partnership means fast, reliable access to Ryanair’s rich inventory, supported by Atlas’s modern technology and comprehensive suite of products and solutions. At the same time, travelers around the world will now have more options for booking Ryanair flights, using the travel platforms of their choice.

This partnership reflects our long-standing vision: to power a more connected and transparent travel ecosystem, with cutting-edge technology enabling airlines and travel sellers to offer a superior experience to travelers worldwide. We’re honored that Ryanair has recognized our responsible approach to distribution, technology excellence, and commitment to high-quality service.
