IATA Airlines Understanding and Adopting NDC aviation training course

The New Distribution Capability (NDC) Program is a travel industry-supported program launched by IATA for the development and market adoption of a new, XML-based data transmission standard (NDC Standard). The NDC Standard will enhance communication between airlines and travel agents and will be open to any third party, intermediary, IT provider, or non-IATA member, to implement and use. The NDC Program will transform the way airline products and services are retailed to travelers; facilitating product differentiation and time-to-market for a transparent shopping experience. This introductory NDC training course designed for airlines provides an in-depth review of multiple NDC concepts to support you in building your business case and identifying the most relevant deployment options for your distribution strategy.
