Air Canada has agreed to participate in a blockchain-based
travel distribution platform under development by Winding Tree.
The carrier will integrate Air Canada's direct-connect API with Winding Tree's public blockchain
platform, "giving blockchain-savvy users the ability to access our content
directly from the source," according to Air Canada director of global
product distribution Keith Wallis.
Air Canada is the first North American airline to work with
Winding Tree, though others around the world already have formed partnerships.
This month, Air France-KLM announced an agreement to test and provide feedback
on the technology. Last year, Lufthansa Group and Air New Zealand also agreed
to be partners.
