What our customers are saying about us
It’s critical to have the right partner that can deliver both the technology and the transformation you need to deliver. Aegean has appreciated working with Accelya, which takes a flexible approach to the technology and to the change that is needed and is ready to stand with the airlines as it goes through the process. Accelya was able to initially deploy quickly, which was important, and subsequently has been very responsive when we have defined new elements such as fare families. In short, for us it has been a partner rather than a vendor, and one that is easier to work with.

At Hawaiian, our deployment of HA Connect™ has yielded remarkable success, empowering us to modernize our retailing capabilities for third parties. NDC has unlocked possibilities previously out of reach, enabling the sale of ancillary products supported by dynamic pricing, rich media, and personalized experiences for our frequent flyer members. Notably, this transition has led to a reduction in distribution costs, consequently lowering our overall cost of sale.

FAQs for NDC
NDC stands for New Distribution Capability. It is a travel industry-supported program launched by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to modernize and standardize the way that airline products are distributed to travel agents, aggregators, and other third parties.
Traditionally, airlines have used Edifact-sourced content via the global distribution systems (GDS) to distribute their fares and services. NDC, however, introduces a XML-based data transmission standard that allows airlines to provide more detailed and dynamic information about their products directly to travel sellers, they gain the control on how the offer is built. This enables airlines to offer a homogenous omnichannel experience, more personalized and diverse options to travellers, and it facilitates a more efficient and flexible distribution process.
NDC aims to enhance the capabilities of traditional distribution channels by enabling a richer and more customizable shopping experience for travellers. It also allows airlines to have more control over their product offerings and pricing, fostering innovation in the way air travel is sold and purchased.
- Reduces distribution cost of sale
- Enables new revenue opportunities through sales of ancillaries
- Greater control of what is offered to whom, when, and via which channel (direct relationship with the travel seller)
- Improved customer loyalty
- It is used mainly by strategic airlines to influence GDS negotiations
