Japan carrier All Nippon Airways is boosting its New Distribution Capability fares coverage in partnership with online travel agency Trip.com.
Effective today, the partnership grows from a single market in Japan to include 11 additional markets: Australia, Hong Kong SAR, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan region, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines.
The enhanced service allows customers in new markets booking ANA flights on Trip.com to access the same fares and reservation services, including key post-booking actions such as itinerary changes and refunds.
Additionally, a wide range of ANA fares will now be available on Trip.com.
“With access to new markets, ANA is delighted that we can now offer enhanced services and fares for our customers through NDC connectivity.” said Hironobu Kondo, VP of ANA Global Sales and Distribution, Customer Experience.
“We will continue to expand our sales network via NDC to ensure our offerings are accessible to both domestic and international customers.”
New Distribution Capability (NDC), unlike the traditional EDIFACT standard, enables the flexible exchange of information, facilitating more dynamic and personalised offerings.
In addition, it allows seamless integration not only within the airline industry but also with a wide range of external partners.
