In a strategic move that brings added convenience and affordability to travellers, Thomas Cook, under its new ownership, has announced a partnership with budget airline Ryanair. As of today, customers can book Ryanair flights as part of a comprehensive holiday package through Thomas Cook.
This partnership marks a significant step for Thomas Cook, now owned by the Polish group eSky, which has a longstanding relationship with Ryanair as an approved online travel agency (OTA) partner.
Ryanair Strengthens Partnerships with OTAs
This collaboration is the latest in a series of OTA partnerships for Ryanair, which has been rapidly expanding its booking channels through approved agencies.
As reported by Travel Gossip, Thomas Cook will offer this integrated booking option to its British customers first, with plans to roll it out across Europe in the coming months.
Thomas Cook’s Director of Aviation, Trevor Bates, expressed optimism about the partnership, highlighting the value it brings to travellers looking for flexible and affordable travel options. “Now that we have access to thousands of low-cost flights, we know our customers will be delighted to enjoy the widest selection of airlines available,” Bates remarked.
This alliance positions Thomas Cook to leverage Ryanair’s extensive flight network, appealing to a broad spectrum of European travellers seeking budget-friendly, customisable package holidays.
