In the past five days Amadeus has signed enhanced distribution agreements with United Airlines and Delta to offer their products via New Distribution Capability (NDC).
The partnership with United includes both NDC and EDIFACT content, providing travel sellers the broadest selection of flights and fares in the United States and around the world, helping them to create the personalized trips travelers increasingly expect through NDC, Amadeus said in a press announcement.
Said Kurt Van Meir, managing director, distribution, United Airlines: “At United Airlines, we look forward to deepening our collaboration with Amadeus as we work together to create an enhanced shopping experience for travelers across every channel.”
On the Delta front, the new agreement lays the groundwork for the introduction of NDC capabilities and will continue to provide Amadeus-connected travel sellers access to Delta's full range of content.
The Amadeus Travel Platform will continue to make Delta's content available across multiple channels, including Amadeus Selling Platform Connect, Amadeus Web Services and Cytric Easy. This ensures travel sellers and buyers around the world can easily shop, book and service the airline’s full range of products and services.
“We look forward to collaborating with Amadeus to make our NDC solution available to all Amadeus‑connected travel agents, ensuring our customers receive the best possible travel experience tailored to their needs,” said Jeff Lobl, managing director, distribution strategy and agency sales programs, Delta Air Lines.
Amadeus is a leader in travel distribution, making content available to over 48,000 travel sellers in more than 155 markets. The NDC solution for the two carriers will be available to all Amadeus‑connected travel advisors.
