Airline-direct content, simplified.
NDC unlocks rich offers, branded fares, dynamic pricing, and ancillaries directly from airlines. Tripgic normalizes NDC content alongside GDS inventory so you never have to choose between coverage and modernity.
What is IATA NDC?
The New Distribution Capability (NDC) is an XML/JSON-based data exchange standard developed by IATA that enables airlines to distribute rich, differentiated content directly to travel sellers. Unlike traditional GDS distribution, which relies on standardized fare classes and limited attributes, NDC allows airlines to create custom offers with branded fares, dynamic pricing, bundled ancillaries, and rich media — the same experience they offer on their own websites.
Branded Fares
Airlines package their products into recognizable brands — Economy Light, Economy Flex, Business Saver — each with clearly defined inclusions. Your customers see what they're buying, not opaque fare classes.
Dynamic Pricing
Instead of pre-filed fares stored in a GDS, NDC enables airlines to compute prices in real-time based on demand, customer profile, and market conditions — giving you access to the most competitive rates.
Ancillary Services
Seat selection, extra baggage, priority boarding, lounge access, in-flight meals, Wi-Fi — all bookable at the point of sale. NDC bundles ancillaries into the offer, increasing your revenue per booking.
Rich Content
NDC carries product descriptions, images, cabin photos, and marketing text that airlines curate — enabling your platform to present airline products the way the airline intends.
Personalized Offers
Airlines can tailor offers based on loyalty status, corporate deals, or traveler profiles. NDC enables true one-to-one offer management — not one-size-fits-all published fares.
Content Parity
Many airlines now offer their best fares exclusively through NDC channels, surcharging or restricting GDS-only distributors. NDC access ensures you're never missing the lowest fare.
NDC-enabled airlines on Tripgic
Major carriers distributing rich NDC content through the Tripgic API. This list grows as more airlines adopt the standard.
Why NDC through Tripgic?
Every airline implements NDC differently. Tripgic normalizes the chaos into one clean API.
Blended Results
NDC and GDS results appear in a single response. Same JSON schema. Your UI doesn't need to know which source provided the fare.
Zero NDC Complexity
Each airline's NDC implementation is different — different XML versions, authentication, offer management flows. Tripgic abstracts all of it.
Better Fares, More Revenue
NDC-exclusive fares, bundled ancillaries, and airline-controlled pricing mean more competitive options and higher cart values for your platform.
GDS + NDC. One integration.
Stop choosing between coverage and modernity. Tripgic gives you both — traditional GDS breadth and airline-direct NDC content, unified.
