New Distribution Capability (NDC) is a data transmission standard developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) that enhances the way airlines distribute their products and services.
Key Features
- NDC enables airlines to create and distribute offers that include detailed product descriptions, images, and ancillary services, enhancing the experience for corporate travellers.
- Corporate travel managers can access real-time information on pricing, seat availability, and promotions, allowing for informed decision-making.
- By bypassing Global Distribution Systems, NDC facilitates direct relationships between airlines and corporate clients. This can lead to better contract negotiations and relationships.
