Travelport, a global technology company that powers travel bookings for hundreds of airlines and thousands of hotels worldwide and International Airlines Group (IAG) have signed a distribution agreement to enable modern travel retailing by bringing New Distribution Capability (NDC) content from Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling to Travelport-connected travel agencies around the world.
By channelling its NDC content through the next-generation Travelport+ platform, IAG will be able to offer travel retailers a wider-range of content – including additional price points and an expanded selection of ancillary products – while taking advantage of modern digital retailing tools such as intelligent storefronts to merchandise them effectively.
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.
