What’s happening
NDC (New Distribution Capability) is a program launched by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the market adoption of new standards for merchandising and selling travel. NDC enhances communications between airlines and travel sellers to access rich content and provide new, personalized retailing capabilities. The NDC transition is global in scale, making it critical for industry professionals to prepare for its impact.
The Traxo NDC Tracker summarizes current information from a variety of sources including the ARM index Registry from IATA, ARC Direct Connect, BTN, The Company Dime, PhocusWire, Duffel, Accelya, and others. These resources help corporate travel managers and their partners stay up to date on changes that will impact their travelers and travel programs.
