Distribution

NDC

New Distribution Capability is an IATA standard that lets airlines sell through third parties with the same richness as on their own site. It allows personalized fares, seats and extras that the legacy GDS handled poorly. It aims to modernize airline distribution.

Example With NDC, an agency can offer the same bag and seat bundle a customer sees on the airline's own site.
