Good news for travel agencies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: From now on, they can book the fares of the Lufthansa Group, including the holiday airline Discover Airlines, via the NDC data standard. This enables seamless search, booking and management of Lufthansa Group flights via the Sabre travel marketplace.
The IT service provider Sabre has integrated the Lufthansa Group's NDC offering into its systems. Travel agencies that work with Sabre and have activated the Lufthansa Group's NDC offering can now access flights from Lufthansa, Discover Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Swiss and Air Dolomiti. The content is available via the Offer and Order APIs, the booking solutions Sabre Red 360 and Sabre Red Launchpad as well as various online booking tools such as SAP Concur, Get There, Zeno by Serko and Atriis.
This expansion of the Lufthansa Group's NDC offering represents an important step for the travel industry. It gives travel agents easier and more efficient access to the Lufthansa Group's fares and enables them to offer their customers a wider range of flight options.
