Only GDS with top IATA NDC certification extends technology leadership
Langley, United Kingdom, 2018-Feb-21 — /Travel PR News/-Travelport (NYSE:TVPT), the leading Travel Commerce Platform, unveiled today (20 February 2018) its product roadmap to extend its content offering to airline customers using the International Air Transport Association (IATA) New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard. This will enable travel agency customers to access such content via Travelport’s platform.
In December 2017 Travelport was the first, and is still the only, GDS operator to achieve IATA’s highest certification as an NDC Level 3 Aggregator. The company is now consolidating and extending its lead by industrialising its NDC capability and incorporating NDC content within its suite of products for airlines and travel agencies.
These products will allow travel agencies to connect through Travelport’s platform in a single workflow combining traditional content and new NDC content. They will be enhanced and optimised continuously based on the evaluation of users and customers.
Travelport plans to include NDC content within an initial set of products as follows:
The NDC-enabled content will augment already extensive API content within Travelport’s industry-leading airline Merchandising Suite.
Travelport already connects to 24 airlines through APIs and expects to announce the first of many NDC-enabled airline partnerships very soon.
