Travelport reports modest 2% revenue increase for Q2

August 05, 2011 | Online Travel

Travelport's net revenue of $530 million for the second quarter of 2011 represented a $10 million increase compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Yet, its operating income decreased 20% during the same time period.

Travelport, owner of the Galileo and Worldspan GDSs, earned $66 million in the second quarter, down 19.5% from $82 million a year earlier.

The company said income declined due to an increase in cost of revenue.

Travelport’s revenue was up 2%, to $530 million, as a result of a $6 million increase in transaction-processing revenue in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. Travelport said revenue decreased in the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.
