OAG (Official Airline Guide), announced the launch of OAG Travel Planner Pro, its new online tool for people who need to search, plan and book business travel quickly and efficiently, and a completely rebuilt web site for people who need to control their travel arrangements.

According to the company, OAG Travel Planner Pro is a brand new online business travel planning application which enables business travellers and professional travel arrangers to plan, book and manage multiple trip plans for multiple travellers, and to create highly complex itineraries in an easy to use and intuitive online environment.

OAG.com, the company’s dedicated travel web site, has been completely redesigned based on extensive research into the online behaviours of business travellers and those who are responsible for managing travel arrangements. 

David Rosen, Managing Director OAG Travel Solutions, said “Our strength is providing the best information and travel planning tools available, using the same OAG database that keeps the global travel industry moving.  Our customers are not shopping for ideas, they are shopping for solutions. They know where they’re going and when they need to be there, and need reliable information to ensure they are fully prepared. Business trips can be very complex to arrange, especially when things change last minute.  We have listened to our customers and introduced a booking and fulfilment service for travellers and planners who currently self-book, which will put them in full control of their travel arrangements and make their lives easier. Now, with OAG Travel Planner Pro, they will have everything in one place in a really easy to use and intuitive online application for smarter travel planning.”

Rosen continued, “For travel managers and planners who already use a travel management company, OAG Travel Planner Pro can provide real benefits. Once the planning is completed, they can then simply send their travel plans to their TMC for booking and fulfilment.  Travel agencies are an important customer group for OAG, and we have already had a lot of interest from companies wishing to white label Travel Planner Pro as a full-service option for their own clients.”
