Accelya Initiative Targets Corporate Travel NDC Bottleneck

Accelya and NDC in Corporate Travel

Accelya, a technology company serving the airline industry, has announced the expansion of its New Distribution Capability (NDC) offering for corporate travel. This move aims to provide corporate buyers with more access to rich content, including ancillary services and personalized offers, through NDC.

The company’s platform, Accelya NDC, is designed to aggregate NDC content from airlines and distribute it to various sales channels, including travel management companies (TMCs) and corporate buyers. This aims to overcome some of the historical limitations of traditional Global Distribution Systems (GDS) in the corporate travel space.

Accelya’s NDC solution enables airlines to publish their content in a standardized NDC format, which can then be consumed by third-party applications and systems. For corporate travel, this means that travel managers and employees booking travel can potentially see a wider range of options and pricing, including offers not available through traditional channels.

The technology is focused on enabling a more modern shopping and booking experience for corporate travel, where tailored offers and the ability to bundle products can be leveraged. Accelya has stated its commitment to supporting the industry’s shift towards NDC standards.

This development signifies a growing trend in the travel industry where technology providers are facilitating the adoption of NDC for a broader segment of the market, including the complex and often highly customized world of corporate travel procurement.
