Travelport, and International Airlines Group (IAG) announced a new New Distribution Capability distribution agreement with British Airways and sister IAG airlines Aer Lingus, Iberia, and Vueling.
By channelling its NDC content through the Travelport+ platform, British Airways will be able to offer travel retailers a wider range of content including Additional Price Points and an expanded selection of ancillary products.
Katy Cardwell, Head of Distribution and Payments at British Airways, said: “Our new agreement with Travelport is an exciting addition to NDC, creating greater opportunities for all partners in the travel ecosystem. This supports our vision of moving towards a more innovative way of travel retailing,.”
Travelport and IAG are progressing well on the technical solution for NDC distribution and will continue to add features and functionality ahead of NDC content being rolled out.
Chris Ramm, Vice President Global Enterprise, Air Partners at Travelport, said: “Unlocking the potential of sophisticated multi-source content like NDC, by making it easier for the trade to access and sell, is a key part of our plans for Travelport+.”
