Forty-seven international airlines are now connected to the traffics systems via the new booking interface, including renowned brands such as Lufthansa, Air France, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Iberia. Dynamic tour operators in particular will benefit, as flight offers can now be integrated into their production in a targeted and airline-specific manner.
"The addition of 47 NDC airlines to our portfolio marks an important milestone in the expansion of our overall range of services. Our goal is to continuously expand this range in order to offer our customers even greater flexibility and customisation," explains Marc Herrgott, CEO of traffics. "We will continue to pursue this path consistently and thus offer our customers even more innovation."
To ensure maximum support, the traffics supplier team coordinates the individual integration of the new flight programme together with each customer and the respective airlines. NDC (New Distribution Capability) is a standard developed by IATA that enables direct data exchange between airlines and distribution systems on an XML basis. The aim is to make flight offers and additional services more transparent, flexible and customisable – comparable to e-commerce in other industries. This allows travel providers to obtain content directly from airlines – without having to go through traditional GDS systems and with the same options as for direct bookings. This results in personalised offers that are priced in real time and distributed in a targeted manner.
