In a major step toward transforming the travel industry, ITQ Technologies and NxtGen AI have announced a strategic partnership to develop the first-of-its-kind AI-powered orchestration layer for travel. The collaboration aims to redefine how journeys are discovered, booked, and serviced across India, Sri Lanka, and international markets.
Booking travel often involves confusing fare structures, long refund processes, and multiple platforms. This partnership intends to eliminate those challenges by introducing an intelligent, integrated platform that makes planning and managing travel simpler, faster, and more transparent.
The new platform combines Travelport’s extensive global content—featuring over 400 airlines, including Air India, and 650,000+ hotels worldwide—with ITQ’s strong travel partner network. Supported by NxtGen’s advanced AI platform, “M”, the system will provide travellers with wider choices, fairer pricing, and smoother experiences, even when travel plans change.
What travellers can expect:
One-stop platform: Flights, hotels, cars, and more in a single interface.
Trusted providers: Access to renowned global and regional travel partners.
Transparent pricing: AI tools that simplify fare rules and conditions.
Seamless rebooking: Quick refunds and itinerary changes with AI-driven support.
Personalized options: Tailored recommendations, upgrades, and bundled offers.
A S Rajgopal, CEO & MD of NxtGen AI, said, “This collaboration with ITQ is a step toward reimagining travel retailing with AI at its core. By combining M’s orchestration capabilities with ITQ’s reach and connectivity, we will empower travellers to make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions while unlocking new revenue opportunities for partners.”
Anil Porter, CTO of ITQ Technologies, added, “At ITQ, we have always believed in leveraging technology to empower the travel ecosystem. Our partnership with NxtGen marks the beginning of a new era in travel retailing—merging differentiated content with AI-driven orchestration to create value for travellers and partners alike.”
As global travel continues to rebound and customer expectations evolve, the ITQ–NxtGen collaboration stands out as a timely innovation. The companies have initiated pilot deployments and plan to share early results with industry stakeholders in the coming months, signaling the dawn of a new era in AI-powered travel retailing.
