What is NDC?

The New Distribution Capability is an IATA or International Air Transport Association move meant to modernise how airline products are sold through third-party channels. The project is large-scale and ambitious and wants to help the travel industry worldwide become effective at selling airline services. It is the best way of dissipating high-quality information to enhance the travel experience. NDC greatly benefits travel sellers and agents who have been grappling with the old GDS system for a long time.

Benefits of NDC

Provide Additional services, Discounted rates and the Best deals.

Especially beneficial for startups and small businesses, white label helps you launch your firm on a global scale with a relatively low investment. The portal is equipped with ready inventory, allowing end users to make their reservations and perform various other operations seamlessly. Our portal offers friendly and straightforward options to provide support services and customised plans to augment your clients’ confidence and trust.

Gain a competitive edge.

The current GDS software largely constrains airline independence. It permits the display of only schedules and prices without any value-added services. API integration addresses this issue, allowing them to take necessary actions to make their product distinctive and competitive. The arrangement creates a win-win situation for both carriers and travel providers.

Access to customer data and customised booking facilities

In the current situation, travel agencies and tour operators control most of the process, but the airlines receive only the most basic information about customers. It cannot provide tailored booking experiences to the customers because they need to receive adequate information. NDI API integration breaks this scenario down and eliminates the need for customer knowledge providing airlines with direct access to customer information using the NDC communication protocol.

Liberty to choose travel information and Quote prices

Airlines are given a platform to apply variable prices for customers while providing them with personalised purchasing experiences. Fares are determined by APTCO or Airline Tariff Publishing company. However, the power to offer customised prices is inhibited by third parties suppressing the profit potential of the airlines. In this case, API integration for New Distribution Capability allows for providing travel packages with the appropriate pricing specifically tailored to each traveller.
