The Lufthansa Group and Travelport will work together in the future in the area of bookability of so-called NDC content. Travel agencies can use Travelport+ to access, compare and book all offers from Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, SWISS and Air Dolomiti - from dynamic tariffs to additional services - at a glance.
Travelport's New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard for the Lufthansa Group is first available in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. An expansion to other European countries is planned in the coming weeks. North and South America, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region will follow in early 2024.
“We attach great importance to making the NDC content as uncomplicated as possible for our users in the travel agencies. “We therefore focused on a fully comprehensive, ready-to-use application for the Lufthansa Group airlines,” explains Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport. “The focus of our NDC solution is clearly designed to make even complex sales processes as simple as possible. Accordingly, travel agents can easily compare and book the Lufthansa Group’s booking options on Travelport+ and use other services for their customers.”
