KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Bernama) -- ATPCO and SITA announced that Air Canada has processed its first New Distribution Capability (NDC) production transaction via NDC Exchange -- a platform that simplifies the adoption of the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) NDC standard.
“As NDC continues to gain traction in the industry, ATPCO will provide the solutions that are cost-efficient and enable our customers to effectively incorporate new distribution channels into their business model,” said director of Products & Solutions for ATPCO, Graham Wareham.
Air Canada is able to simultaneously implement connections to multiple sellers using NDC Exchange including Verteil Technologies, Innfinity Software Systems and Zeno by Serko. This demonstrates, in real-world conditions the simplicity and scalability of NDC Exchange, a statement said.
NDC is a new standard aimed at enabling the travel industry to transform the way services are retailed to corporations as well as leisure and business travelers. It provides greater product differentiation, quicker time-to-market and delivers a more transparent shopping experience.
NDC Exchange facilitates the real-time connectivity between airlines and sellers to exchange messages easily and cost effectively. It supports shopping, booking and servicing workflows and enables the cross-selling of ancillary services between airlines and airlines and sellers.
NDC Exchange has seen robust industry interest with early-joiners Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) providing settlement support and Routehappy by ATPCO powering rich content capabilities to enhance merchandising.
ATPCO enables seamless management of the airfare data that makes industry run more efficiently while SITA is the communications and IT solution provider that transforms air travel through technology. More details at https://www.atpco.net or https://www.sita.aero.
