 What is New Distribution Capability? Why Do We
Need NDC?

• New Distribution Capability is a new XML-based
  data transmission standard. NDC creates
  opportunities to standardize data transfer. Its
  a standard developed by the International Air
  Transport Association (IATA) to enhance
  communication between airlines and travel agents.
• The NDC Standard enables the travel industry to
  alter the way air products are retailed to
  companies, leisure, and business travelers by
  eliminating the industry's current distribution
  limitations
• Product differentiation and time-to-market
• Access to complete and rich air content
• Transparent shopping experience

• An industry standard will enable a more efficient
  airline distribution system, benefiting airlines,
  agencies, GDSs, IT providers, and travel
  start-ups. With NDC, an airline may quickly offer
  this traveler a package that includes a direct
  flight, an extra checked bag, and a seat in
  business class based on their customer data.
  Furthermore, NDC enables airlines to deliver this
  content directly to travel agents and travel
  management companies (TMC) without requiring GDS.
  
• The airline sector has been working on NDC since
  2012. Travelport recognized the need for airlines
  to provide its large inventory of airfares and
  ancillaries in an interactive, customized, and
  engaging manner for indirect sales on their
  websites.
• New Distribution Capability supports travel
  agents and agencies in minimizing operating
  costs, time-consuming procedures, documentation
  techniques, and improving the advantages of
  different price alternatives. Furthermore, the
  desire of airlines to have more control over
  their content and improve their sales abilities
  led to the travel sector's need for NDC.
• NDC gives travel companies additional information
  regarding airline services and ancillaries, and
  rich content paves the way for technological
  advancement. NDC provides access to the Internet
  Booking Engine (IBE) and the Global Distribution
  System, lowering costs and increasing revenues.

What benefits does New Distribution Capability
provide?

• Personalized shopping experience and access to
  customer information. The majority of client
  personal data is currently kept by
  intermediaries, OTAs, and GDSs. It implies that
  airlines only receive minimal information on
  their customers, which prevents them from
  personalizing the purchase experience, which has
  become a standard in modern travel eCommerce. The
  goal of the NDC standard is to give airlines
  direct information about their customers.
• Content and pricing autonomy. Most airlines
  publish their tariffs through ATPCO, the
  technology supplier and primary source of price
  data. Having a third-party act as an intermediary
  between revenue management and distribution
  channels implies that airlines miss out on
  dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing refers to the
  capacity to produce personalized ticket and
  travel package offers based on specific client
  information. The new XML standard enables
  airlines to create their own APIs and alter
  pricing independently, adding value to their
  offerings and adjusting rates uniquely for each
  consumer.
• Rich content offers, ancillaries, and discounts.
  Airlines are unable to incorporate ancillaries in
  their offerings since flight data is distributed
  via GDS's EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange
  for Administration, Commerce, and Transport). As
  ancillaries are the primary source of profit for
  carriers, this leads to financial losses for
  service providers.
• Product differentiation. The traditional GDS
  system allows airlines to show fares and
  timetables. While tariff metasearch engines and
  OTAs make it easy for travelers to evaluate
  prices, airlines cant market their added value
  services and fully compete. This difficulty is
  solved by having rich content that covers all
  service data.
• Reduced reliance on legacy systems. Most airlines
  use traditional passenger service systems (PSS)
  that contain reservation information, pricing,
  and flight schedules. The primary function of the
  PSS is to indicate which seats are available for
  a given flight. PSSs may have poor performance
  and many other restrictions, and most PSS
  providers lag in modernization.

Why do airlines develop New Distribution Channels
(NDC)?

• It gives businesses more control over their
  products, improves their distinctiveness,
  enhances the number of services they may supply,
  and personalizes the offer, thus increasing their
  income.
• Gain more control over their distribution
  strategy to deliver unique offerings and reduce
  the dependence on third-party distributors.
• Create additional revenue with expanded offers
  that incorporate special features and services to
  differentiate and promote beyond a simple,
  text-based price sort.
• Save costs by shifting and recovering
  distribution costs through GDS fees and
  commercial conversations with distribution
  companies.
• Increase traveler engagement by enabling insight
  into shopper preferences and delivering
  customized deals.

How do travel companies benefit from New
Distribution capabilities?

• It increases income for airlines while lowering
  distribution costs. Small to medium-sized
  airlines, air charters, air ambulances, and
  airline aggregators benefit from our top airline
  tools. Our Airline Booking Engine module displays
  airline inventory, availability, and pricing in
  real-time. B2C / B2B users can book an airline
  seat and create a PNR.
• With NDC, airlines can change and adjust their
  prices, giving their customers more
  personalization. NDC is open to IT providers,
  intermediaries, third parties, and even non-IATA
  members. It is a standard that allows travel
  industry providers to add value-added services
  and new revenue streams by collaborating and
  working with their partners.
• New Distribution Capability (NDC) allows the
  distribution of airfares and ancillaries through
  third parties which are being developed by the
  airline association IATA. It is a new way for
  them to connect with airlines and could open up
  innovative solutions to deliver air content to
  clients.
• NDC is the future of Airline Distribution The
  travel consumer has changed and is becoming their
  own travel agents as they have as much or
  sometimes more information than traditional
  travel agencies. The changing nature of the
  travel consumer is spurring Metasearch and the
  larger Online Travel Agencies to evolve into
  online marketplaces where all the travel needs of
  a consumer are fulfilled.

• In the new era of multi-source content
  distribution, NDC may supply dynamic pricing and
  product information to create the final offer to
  all partners.
• It also allows for a better price comparison
  experience, allowing agencies to book, pay, and
  issue tickets. These are critical features for
  providing the individualized offers that the new
  distribution era demands. NDC is an excellent
  solution for tailoring an end-to-end travel
  experience to the preferences of its customers.
• TMCs and companies can use it to receive
  comprehensive fares from direct link airlines via
  GDSs, LCCs, and aggregators in the search. NDC
  aims to reduce the industry's distribution
  constraints and enable access to rich and
  complete air content with a transparent
  purchasing experience by allowing airlines to
  offer their tickets directly to consumers.
• The New Distribution Capability solution is part
  of a comprehensive platform that puts airlines in
  control of their retailing strategy. The IATA NDC
  complements merchandising technology with rich
  content and branding.
• It collaborates closely with IATA and airline
  corporations to deliver industry-leading content
  via travel commerce platforms. The International
  Air Transportation Association (IATA) designed
  the NDC standard to allow airline service
  providers to offer rich information and
  ancillaries to their consumers.
