Oman Air NDC: how agencies and developers access Oman Air content
Level 4 certification, aggregator and GDS NDC partners, oneworld membership, and the ways to connect.
By the Tripgic team · Last updated
What is Oman Air NDC?
Oman Air NDC is the airline’s IATA New Distribution Capability channel, certified at IATA NDC Level 4 on schema 18.2 and delivered through a TPConnects offer and order management system and travel agency portal. Agencies use it for dynamic pricing, rich content and ancillaries.
Oman Air has pushed agents towards NDC since 2019, citing rising GDS costs. Its NDC content is on aggregators such as Verteil and, from a February 2026 deal, on Travelport+, and it joined the oneworld alliance in July 2025. See our plain-English guide to NDC for the standard itself.

Three ways to access Oman Air NDC
You can connect to Oman Air directly, through a GDS that carries its NDC content, or through an NDC aggregator. The right choice depends on your engineering capacity and how many airlines you sell.
| Direct to Oman Air | GDS NDC | Aggregator (Tripgic) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Large agencies and TMCs with their own NDC engineering team | Agencies already working in a GDS desktop or GDS API | OTAs, B2B platforms and startups that want REST/JSON |
| What you build | Oman Air NDC direct connect via its TPConnects-run portal or API | The GDS’s NDC workflow, separate from EDIFACT | One REST API; Oman Air fares blended with GDS, NDC and LCC content |
| Schema changes (18.2 → 21.3) | You migrate | Handled by the GDS | Handled in Tripgic’s connector; your JSON stays the same |
| Other airlines | One integration per airline | NDC carriers that GDS supports | Other NDC airlines, 3 GDS networks and 67 LCCs |
