As of September 2023, Trevolution Group, the industry leader and operator of Asaptickets Skyluxtravel, Dreamport, and other travel brands, will begin using New Distribution Capabilities (NDC) in its airline ticket distribution. By the end of the month, Trevolution Group will provide its customers with instant access to personalized travel content from over 15 international airlines, including several major carriers like Lufthansa Group, United Airlines, Emirates, Finnair, Air France-KLM, American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, and others. This is made possible through a partnership with AirGateway, a leading NDC aggregator in the world.
NDC has lately come to light as a true game-changer as the travel industry continues to develop and adapt to the needs of customers throughout the world. It is a more advanced industry standard that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) established to enable direct data sharing between the major industry participants, revolutionizing the way air products are sold to businesses, leisure travelers, and business travelers. The NDC aggregator, on the other hand, is essentially a third-party technology provider that acts as a centralized platform between airlines and travel agencies to provide immediate connections to multiple airlines’ NDC contents, such as flight inventory, supplemental services, and pricing, including those options that may not be accessible through traditional distribution channels.
The ability to provide a transparent purchasing experience with personalized offers is another benefit of introducing NDC. By using the data, Trevolution Group’s travel brands can now offer customized travel packages that are specific to each customer based on their travel preferences, past travel experiences, behavior, and airline loyalty information, making the booking process more convenient and painless. Airlines can also respond to these tailored offers using NDC technology, apply loyalty-based discounts, or offer different payment methods like miles.
Mr. Vazan
The NDC standard offers real-time information, unlike the widely used global distribution system (GDS) paradigm, which only allows airlines to show prices and timetables. A full variety of NDC services will be introduced and made available to Trevolution Group’s customers in the coming months as it continues to implement the new integration. As a result, real-time updates and seamless integration will enable air travelers to make immediate adjustments to their bookings, such as seat upgrades or changes to their itineraries, without having to wait for airline confirmation. The introduction of NDC will also offer immediate flight updates, ensuring that clients are always informed of any alterations to their travel arrangements. In order to inform customers about in-flight services and facilities, offer upgrade possibilities, or inform them of flight delays or gate changes, airlines will send direct alerts to passengers.
Following the signing of the collaboration agreement with AirGateway, the travel brands under the Trevolution Group will have quick and simple access to the full range of prices and ancillary items from numerous airlines at once through a single integration. No matter where in the world they are going to, we are thus able to provide our customers the best flight options that meet their needs and budget. We anticipate selling over 20,000 airline tickets using NDC by the end of the year, with a target of selling 150,000 seats by 2024. We are prepared to make investments in the future, even if it will need a sizable infrastructure expenditure. Trevolution Group’s EVP of Industry Relations, Peter Vazan, offers his opinion.
