Express IATA NDC Certification

NDC Overview

The New Distribution Capability (NDC) is an XML-based data transmission standard launched by IATA that is supported by the travel industry. NDC was introduced with the aim of enhancing and streamlining communication between airlines, aggregators, travel agents, passengers & IT providers.

Why NDC?

Data transmission in its current stage faces numerous hurdles including inconsistent customer experience and freedom of distribution of services. As a result, airlines are unable to maximize revenues and provide customers with value-added services such as upgrades and lounge access in real-time.

Is NDC Really a Big Deal?

In the next 4-5 years, NDC will be the standard of data transmission between airlines, agents, and customers. Ignoring NDC can lead to significant loss of revenue in the near future.

How is NDC different from traditional data transmission?

In its current form, data transmission is not streamlined and organized. For example, if you wanted the passengers to upgrade their seats, meal preferences and other details in real-time, you would be limited by the existing data transmission standard. NDC will enable you to do this and much more, helping you stay ahead of the competition and offer passengers world-class value-added services. All this is made possible by the NDC API.

This is what data transmission looks like now:

Modules of NDC

NDC Shopping

The Shopping schemas under NDC help airlines in distributing their product offers. These include seat choices, lounge access, merchandise baggage, and other ancillary services. The services are delivered in an interactive manner and can be personalized depending on the type of customer. Traditional data transmission does not allow airlines to offer these services in real-time. This helps airlines boost ancillary revenue while providing value to customers.

NDC Order Management

Order Management schemas lead to easy management of NDC-enabled orders right from booking of the ticket to fulfilment. Schemas for Booking & Servicing allow airlines and travel agents to manage a customer’s order once they select an offer. Payment & Ticketing schemas aid in the transmission of data related to supported payment methods offers selected by the customer, etc.

Interlining

Shopping and Order Management schemas enable airlines to communicate with interline partners. This helps the airline manage interline transactions better and more efficiently.

How to Get Started With NDC

The NDC standard sounds quite tempting, but how can your company become futureproof with NDC? The very first step is Certification. This step is necessary since it lets IATA, travel aggregators, and customers know that your company is capable of sending and receiving NDC messages and adhering to the NDC standards.
