But why was NDC introduced?
NDC marks a shift from transactional selling to retail-focused selling. It allows airlines to act like modern retailers—offering relevant, personalized, and flexible products to travelers.
Legacy Global Distribution Systems (GDS) limited how airlines could present their products—resulting in standardized, often commoditized offerings. NDC was designed to:
Enable personalized offers
Support dynamic pricing
Showcase ancillary services
Offer direct distribution capabilities
Content Structure
Visual Content
Ancillary Services
Fare Bundles
Pricing
Direct Airline Control
Time to Market for Offers
Customer Experience
GDS
Flat, standardized fares
No images or branding
Limited visibility

Challenges with NDC Adoption
Fragmented Connectivity & Integration Complexity
Integrating with multiple airlines using varying versions of the NDC standard is complex, time-consuming, and costly.
Inconsistent Content Across Channels
Agents often see different content via NDC, GDS, and airline websites, making fare comparison and transparency difficult.
Limited Access to Ancillaries & Offers
Many NDC implementations don’t offer full ancillary content, making upselling harder.
Lack of Standardization in Servicing
Post-booking changes (refunds, reissues, cancellations) are not consistently supported across airlines.
Complex Commission Models
Agents struggle with commission transparency and calculation under NDC vs. traditional GDS models.
Travel Agency Onboarding by NDC Airlines
Integrating an airline’s NDC content into agency systems remains complex, slow, and technically demanding.

Why Partner Onboarding Is Still a Roadblock in NDC
1. Manual & Time-Consuming Integration Processes
- Onboarding each agency partner involves manual coding, testing, and coordination — making it slow and resource-intensive.
- Airlines often lack tools to scale onboarding efficiently.
2. Lack of Standardized Testing & Certification
- No unified system to test, validate, and certify NDC integrations.
- Leads to inconsistencies in implementation and delays in go-live.
3. Limited Visibility into Integration Issues
- Troubleshooting failed APIs or XML errors often requires deep manual analysis, causing long resolution times and frustration for tech teams.
4. Inability to Handle Multiple Partners at Scale
- Airlines struggle to onboard and support multiple agencies simultaneously without overwhelming internal teams.
5. High Onboarding Costs & Technical Dependency
- Constant reliance on technical teams increases onboarding costs and reduces agility in retail operations.
6. Compliance Risks & Certification Gaps
- Without proper validation and tracking, airlines risk non-compliance with NDC standards, impacting performance and certification status.
