TPConnects hails tenfold increase in Qantas NDC bookings
IATA-certified travel aggregator TPConnects Technologies announced a tenfold increase in Qantas NDC (New Distribution Capability) bookings via its Iris platform in just six months.
Australia and New Zealand have emerged as key markets for TPConnects Technologies, now accounting for 30% of the company’s global booking volume.
It says Qantas represents a significant portion of this volume.
As a Flight Centre Travel Group company, TPConnects is positioned to ensure travel sellers in the region have access to the content.
“Our success story with Qantas is an example of how airlines can drive NDC adoption and harness the full potential of NDC,” said Stephanos Kykkotis, Director of Product, TPConnects Technologies.
“We are proud to be live with Qantas and to provide tremendous value to travel agencies globally, and even more so for Australia and New Zealand.”
Travel sellers using Iris access a wide array of Qantas’ content and services via NDC.
The key features include:
Tailored offers for frequent flyers and corporates.
Multiple payment methods, including IATA BSP, credit or debit cards, and IATA EasyPay.
Streamlined booking and servicing functionalities and the ability to modify, void, refund or exchange an NDC ticket, reducing operational costs.
Easy management of involuntary changes, improving customer service and minimising disruptions.
Split ticketing capability, enabling better efficiency and lower fares for customers.
Travel agencies using Iris have access to Qantas’ NDC content alongside traditional EDIFACT, LCC, and other NDC content, all within a single interface.
Iris features NDC content from major airlines globally, supporting travel sellers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
