Air France-KLM is making its New Distribution Capability-based dynamic seat bundle product available through travel technology platform Atriis.
The bundle, which consists of a ticket fare combined with the best available seat reservation with the travellers¡¯ Flying Blue loyalty status taken into consideration, will initially be available in the Netherlands and then ¡°gradually¡± expanded to Atriis users globally.
Air France-KLM VP of distribution Stephane Ormand said: ¡°This is the first step in extending our bundle offers with additional options to the customer, such as lounge access and wi-fi on board. Those offers will be only available via NDC.¡±?
Travel management companies will also be able to service the bookings, as Atriis can feed them to mid- and back office systems, according to Atriis¡¯ co-founder Omri Amsalem. This will allow users to see airline messages and schedule changes.?
¡°Atriis has automated and simplified the process for both the traveller and the agent,¡± added Amsalem. ¡°Our platform provides one place to efficiently service NDC content and fares. We see the NDC adoption growth in corporate travel increasing.¡±
