This enables travel agency customers to access such content via the travel commerce platform via a single workflow combining traditional content and new NDC content.
Travelport plans to include NDC content within an initial product set with an industrialised connection for airlines that connects via NDC-standard APIs, and a Point of Sale companion application for travel agencies that offers NDC-enabled content, alongside the GDS workflow through the Travelport Smartpoint desktop.
Stephen Shurrock, chief commercial officer, Travelport, noted, “Building on our unique NDC Level 3 status we are extending our range of products ready for the new mixed-economy era of airline distribution.”
