Amadeus marks Qantas NDC milestone

Monday, 01 Jul, 2021 0

NDC offers from Qantas are now available through the Amadeus Travel Platform under a pilot scheme being tested by agents.

Amadeus started to deliver Qantas’ NDC- content to selected travel sellers to test booking and servicing through the Amadeus Travel Platform.

These travel agents are able to shop, book, and pay for NDC offers sourced from the Qantas Distribution Platform (QDP).

This includes ancillary services not available via EDIFACT, special price offers, and fully integrated post-booking servicing like cancelling, and refunding.

The Amadeus Travel Platform supports multiple front-end solutions, including Amadeus Selling Platform Connect and the Amadeus Travel API.

"This milestone ensures that we will continue working alongside the carrier on modern retailing capabilities. We are excited to take this next step with Qantas as we have been processing live NDC bookings through the Amadeus Travel Platform for several years now," said Javier Laforgue, Executive Vice President, Airlines Distribution, Amadeus.

In 2018, Qantas joined the Amadeus’ NDC [X] program to make NDC content available in the Amadeus Travel Platform via the Qantas Distribution Platform.

Pilot NDC bookings are being made now for testing purposes by a select group of travel agencies.
