What is NDC in travel?
What does NDC stand for in travel, and what exactly is it?
IATA NDC refers to New Distribution Capability, an initiative championed by The International Air Transport Association. NDC in travel is an XML-based data transmission standard that modernizes the way travel suppliers, sellers and buyers communicate with each other to conduct business. This standard supports the distribution of dynamic and personalized offers, which may include base fares, ancillary content, photos and other types of rich media, through indirect distribution channels, such as the Sabre marketplace. As a result, third-party sellers gain access to innovative content bundles that historically have only been accessible through airlines’ direct sales channels, such as their websites. Airlines are eager to expand their distribution reach consistently across channels. NDC supports these objectives. That’s the way the industry talks about it – but what does this language actually mean? Essentially, it means that as an ecosystem, we have the opportunity to better retail airline products and services so that we all have an enhanced experience–just like we do in our private consumer lives.
Using NDC to enhance the customer experience
NDC allows the airline to have an interactive conversation with the shopper – a live dialogue. This allows airlines to better understand both the customers’ expressed and inferred needs.
