Amex GBT and Lufthansa Group expand NDC rollout
Lufthansa Group has upgraded its partnership with American Express Global Business Travel to expand availability of new distribution capability (NDC) fares.
Amex GBT in 2019 became the first travel management company (TMC) to connect to global distribution systems (GDSs) for online NDC content.
Amex GBT currently has more than 20 carriers in its NDC program, with NDC content available to more than 15,000 of its customers.
It says NDC sales in 2024 surpassed hundreds of millions of dollars, across 16 point-of-sale countries.
The partnership with Lufthansa Group offers NDC-enabled content to Amex GBT customers in multiple countries across Europe.
The renewed, expanded agreement will accelerate NDC content availability across Amex GBT’s proprietary platforms, offline booking, and third-party booking tools.
The partnership covers NDC-only rates and special promotions with Lufthansa, Swiss International Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Austrian Airlines and Discover Airlines.
John Bukowski, Amex GBT’s VP, Content Acquisition & Strategic Sourcing, said: “This new agreement reflects our joint commitment with Lufthansa Group to create more value for our corporate customers.”
