Hours after the DOT gave JetBlue the green light for its partnership with United, executives said they are looking to expand its travel tech platform to include more airlines and other travel companies.
JetBlue president Marty St. George said Tuesday that the company is talking to additional airlines and other travel companies about potentially expanding its travel tech platform.
The carrier recently rebranded JetBlue Travel Products into Paisly following the announcement of its partnership with United Airlines. As part of the tie-up, Paisly is expected to power United’s sales of hotels, packages, cars, cruises, and travel insurance.
“We are talking to additional airlines over and above United,” St. George said during an earnings call with analysts on Tuesday. “And in fact, we're talking to some non-airlines.”
