Amadeus to Add IAG’s NDC Content to Travel Platform
(04 Mar 2021) International Airlines Group (IAG) has expanded its
partnership with Amadeus to drive advanced travel retailing
through NDC.
Through the agreement, content from IAG operators
including British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling, will be
made available for travel sellers, agents and corporations through
the Amadeus Travel Platform via Amadeus’ NDC-enabled solutions.
British Airways and Iberia NDC connections to
Amadeus are targeted for the second half of this year, with Vueling
following in 2022. Details of Aer Lingus’ implementation have not
yet been disclosed.
Rogier Van Enk, Head of Distribution at British
Airways, said, “NDC is the future of retailing for our industry
and we’re excited about the possibilities that it is enabling. It
is encouraging to see key players in the travel ecosystem like
Amadeus sharing this vision by supporting the rollout of NDC. This
deal will create more choice for our trade partners, including personalised content and new exciting offers to come in the
future.”
Both organisations have
already started to work on the integration of IAG’s NDC content
into the Amadeus Travel Platform. This will ensure that agents
worldwide will be able to search, compare, book, and service IAG
NDC content in one merged display through their go-to Amadeus
solution.
This agreement is another important milestone
for NDC’s adoption across the industry. Now more than ever, there
is a need for more scalable end-to-end solutions that are
thoroughly integrated into the travel seller’s ecosystem to ensure
NDC bookings can be made and serviced efficiently.
“This is an important moment for the travel
industry as we welcome one of the world’s leading airline groups
into our NDC family. We are proud to have deepened our partnership
with IAG, which will unlock new retailing capabilities and push
forward global NDC adoption,” said Javier Laforgue, Executive Vice
President of Airline Distribution & Content Sourcing at Amadeus.
“NDC and the integration in the Amadeus Travel Platform will equip
IAG to reach our industry’s new opportunities and meet changing
traveller needs head-on. This agreement once again reinforces the
value of our technology and collaborative approach across the
industry to bring NDC to scale.”
We create holidays and skilled-led and wildlife group excursions to over a hundred locations worldwide. Left on #three I used to be officially on the Crowsnest Highway which had its own beautiful crow-themed signs for the entire time I used to be on it. I wished to like Alberta by way of that space, but the little slice of that province by way of which I traveled seemed principally focused on its proximity to mountains in British Columbia. So I continued on straight boring roads, feeling extra like an Alberta commuter than a vacationer which was enjoyable and interesting for […]
