NDC Pilots

Contribute to shaping tomorrow's airline distribution

The objective of the NDC pilots is to validate and enhance the NDC business requirements and schemas. If your company is an airline, travel agency, GDS or IT provider, we encourage you to participate in the NDC pilot starting in 2013.

As a pilot participant, you will be expected to define the exact scope of your specific pilot in accordance with your readiness and business needs/objectives.

Be one of the pioneers to experience this new capability!  Find out the objectives, participation criteria, scope and timelines in the NDC pilots terms of reference (pdf). Sign up through our call for participation - NDC pilots (pdf).
