• Positions Travelport to apply AI at scale across its platforms that power bookings for hundreds of thousands of travel suppliers in more than 165 countries

TEANECK, N.J. and LONDON, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) and Travelport today announced the next phase of their strategic partnership, committing both companies to a single objective: making Travelport the first truly AI-native platform in global travel retailing.

Building on 20 years of collaboration, the companies are accelerating efforts to embed AI across the platforms, products and operations that power the travel industry.
