Commercial Operations Placement Langley 2024

Travelport is a place of opportunity. It’s our incredible team that makes our company great – our people drive our winning culture.

Travelport is the brains behind lots of your travel bookings. Plane, car or hotel. You name it, we do it. Our technology is used to book that magical family holiday, infamous bachelorette party or long overdue school reunion. While we can't solve mosquito bites or lost luggage, we can simplify a lot of the technical parts of travel, and we're looking for the best thinkers to help us do it.

Annually, we run a 13-month (July – July) internship program comprised of four pillars: The Job, Corporate Social Responsibility, Learning and Development, and ‘Internpreneurship’ (see what we did there?) Our internships are for students seeking a placement year for their third year of their undergraduate degree.

We offer ambitious students like you the opportunity to participate in an immersive and rewarding internship like no other. Because at Travelport, you’ll get the chance to apply your skills and offer solutions to projects that truly matter!
