What is NDC • NDC is an International Air Transport Association (IATA)-backed, XMLbased data transmission standard that enables carriers to distribute a full range of products through travel agencies through significantly improved communications. In terms of adoption, NDC is open to any third-party, intermediary, provider, or non-IATA member to implement and use. • It promises to give airlines complete control over the exact product or product suite they offer to any given traveler at any given time. However, capitalizing on the NDC opportunity will necessitate a complete overhaul of airline business processes and IT systems.
FlightsLogic is connected to Flight NDC content. Our team of experts has extensive experience integrating Flight NDC technology into the airline's I infrastructure. In addition, we aggregate all Flight NDC content in a single location and distribute it across systems using an XML API.
NDC Promises to be a Game Changer The NDC standard completely transforms an airline's ability to serve customers and drive revenue through the indirect channel. They can use NDC to:
• Distribute their entire product portfolio, including ancillaries, which account for a growing portion of revenue and profit. • Offer value-added products and services based on personal information, if customers choose to disclose it. • Display far more information about products, including detailed descriptions of distinguishing features and media such as photographs. • Bring new products to market faster and provide a shopping experience based on customer preferences.
Why was New Distribution Capability established? • NDC was developed to help the travel industry to evolve in its sales of air products to corporations, leisure, and business travelers. IATA has now launched NDC (new distribution capability), an XML-based data transmission standard that allows airlines to overcome the challenges of their current distribution system. NDC allows its additional services to make use of rich content. IATA now handles 95% of the airline industry. • In the world of the internet, with the growth of technology, travel agencies and individual distributors are adopting cutting-edge travel technology tools and mobile apps to assist global customers while increasing revenue. With the advancement of technology, agencies began using online flight reservation systems, allowing end-users and sub-intermediates to easily book flight deals online. • As a result, many travel start-ups, both non-IATA, and IATA intermediates are opting for the OTA model. The IATA NDC online reservation software assists the end traveler in selecting seats, purchasing auxiliary services, upgrade, cancellation, etc. Therefore, Airlines System enables NDC-based collection and IT services to airlines, travel intermediaries, and third-party vendors in the travel industry.
The benefits of NDC NDC benefits include • Even if you purchase from a third party, you will have direct access to upgrades, exclusive packages, and limited-time offers. • Your entire experience can be tailored to your specific preferences. • You can compare all airline options, including their various services, products, and promotions, in addition to the price. • Airlines can distribute their products more widely and quickly through third-party agents or websites. • Travel agents can sell the same content that airlines do on their websites.

Why New Distribution Capability?
• Increased Fare Pricing Bands: Airlines can implement "Continuous Pricing" because they are not constrained by limited Price Bands in GDS (Global Distribution Systems) and can offer more gradual, smaller Fare changes as demand and supply change. As a result, a Traveller on an NDC connection is more likely to get a lower fare. • No GDS Fee: Airlines offer lower fares through NDC because they do not have to pay a fee to the GDS to lodge their fares. • Direct Connection Between Seller And Airline: It is easier for sellers and Airlines can more easily discuss enhancements, richer content, or additions such as Seats because they have a direct conversation. The Seller can provide a better experience for the Business Traveller, similar to booking directly through the airline's website, while the business retains all of the benefits of using a TMC (Travel Management Company).

NDC is the future of Airline Distribution • NDC is an XML-based data transmission standard that aims to address many of the current distribution channels in the airline industry. It's a well-known data protocol that allows airlines and travel agencies to exchange electronic information. • It enables airlines to provide the same rich and dynamic content to agencies that they do on their website (including ancillaries). It allows TMCs and corporations to obtain comprehensive fares from airline direct connect via GDSs, LCCs, and aggregators in the same search. • FlightsLogic aggregates and maintains airline content from GDSs, NDC airlines, and Lowcost carriers (LCCs). These air content sources are fed into a user-friendly User Interface, where Travel Agents can access the content source using their credentials. • The airline reservation system also supports the uploading of self-contracted inventories provided by the partner flight suppliers of the agency via the software. The system also includes a simple XML Out functionality that allows travel partners to share their inventories with one another.
