Travel Port Galileo

Most travel companies use a GDS (Global Distribution System) to book flights, hotels and car hire. Learning a GDS has many benefits, it could mean securing your ideal travel job.

Travelport Galileo was founded in 1971 as Chicago-based United Airlines introduced the Apollo® computer reservation system (CRS), for use in their own offices to automate seat reservation, booking and tracking. Five years later, United created the Apollo Travel Services (ATS) division, and the Apollo CRS was marketed to travel agencies in North America and Japan. 

Galileo is part of the Travelport group of companies and as of 2017 had a worldwide market share of 21% for airline bookings. In addition to airlines Galileo can be used to book trains, cruises, car rental and hotel rooms.
