Travelport Update – NDC Is Starting To Change The Way The Travel Industry Is Thinking

Travelport global head of new distribution Ian Heywood highlights that NDC is making clear progress, and after years of discussions we are now starting to see the industry take action. He details what exactly NDC means for the industry, how it works and the benefits for airlines and consumers. He notes how IATA’s ‘Leaderboard’ of airlines for NDC, which was launched with 20 airlines, has grown to 21 as Qantas has joined the list, and how it is working to a target for each carrier to deliver at least 20% of volume through NDC-capable application programming interfaces by 2020.
