How NDC Will Impact Corporate Travel

Air travel retailing is changing. As airlines enhance their products and expand their ancillary offerings, travel agencies and TMCs need better tools to make those products available to the corporate traveler. 

NDC (New Distribution Capability) is the first step toward creating a more transparent omni-channel buying experience for corporate travelers. This presentation will cover:

  • An introduction to NDC;
  • How it will change the way air travel is purchased;
  • How NDC is being implemented across the air travel industry; and
  • What this means for travel buyers and suppliers.
