Air Canada and Amadeus have expanded their New Distribution Capability (NDC) partnership. Air Canada will enable access to its full range of NDC-sourced content through the Amadeus Travel Platform by using Altéa NDC, Amadeus’ IT product that is meant to allow airlines to provide improved retail access by offering more personalized options for customers.
Additionally, the airline’s traditionally sourced content (EDIFACT) will be available worldwide to travel sellers and corporations that use the Amadeus Travel Platform.
As an Amadeus Altéa customer for its passenger service system, Air Canada will use a single passenger name record (PNR) for managing the end-to-end passenger experience. This should lead to increased efficiency and seamless integration of Altéa NDC with the Amadeus Travel Platform, enabling travel sellers to more easily shop, book and manage NDC-sourced travel content. Air Canada predicts that travel sellers will benefit from the long-term roadmap offering additional features and new content.
