New Distribution Capability (or NDC) made its debut in 2012 when Lufthansa, British Airways, American Airlines were the first to adopt NDC. Generally speaking, NDC is essentially an XML standard created by the International Air Transportation Association (IATA) to allow airline service providers to deliver rich content and ancillaries to their customers. Being a new communication protocol, NDC enables essential information directly transferred to online travel agencies, GDSs, and travel management companies.
In this regard, what impacts will NDC bring about in the air travel industry? Why NDC matters to your business? What benefits does NDC provide to relevant stakeholders? How could NDC empower both the retailer and the buyer in terms of travel management?
