The Emergence of NDC (New Distribution Capabilities) in Travel Distribution 

NDC is a new IATA program that allows airlines to present rich content, dynamic pricing, and ancillary services directly to travel distributors via XML-based APIs.

Personalized booking experiences 

Transparent fares and branded fare visibility 

Dynamic offers and real-time packaging 

OpenNDC is designed to perfection for this transition, with a platform that has NDC support from the foundation.
