Travelport will make Air India¡¯s New Distribution Capability content available on Travelport+ for connected agencies this quarter, the technology company announced on Wednesday.
Travel management agencies using the Travelport+ booking system will soon be able to view and compare the airline¡¯s NDC offers alongside traditional content, with no additional fees or surcharges linked to EDIFACT bookings. The move comes almost a year after the NDC distribution deal between the two companies was first announced.
Air India chief commercial and transformation officer, Nipun Aggarwal, said: ¡°Travelport is one of our preferred technology providers. Together, we are looking to deliver a solution that makes it easy for agents to access, sell and service Air India¡¯s content and offers.¡±
Travelport+ uses artificial intelligence and machine-learning to filter through aggregated multi-source content and deliver accurate search results, according to Travelport.
