“This certification with Turkish Airlines represents a significant milestone in our mission to
revolutionize airline distribution,” said George Rajan, Chief Experience Officer of Airbooking.
“Our unique position as a platform certified by major GDS systems and leading NDC airlines
means travel agents no longer have to choose between comprehensive inventory and exclusive
content. They get both on a single screen, with the cost savings and enhanced functionality that
our proven NDC expertise delivers.”
Unified Distribution Platform Merges Top-Notch Solutions
Travel agents can now access exclusive NDC content from Turkish Airlines alongside a broad range of GDS inventory via AirBooking’s unified platform. This seamless integration allows agents to manage ancillary services, including seats, baggage, and upgrades, all within a single transaction. Additionally, dynamic pricing is updated in real time based on customer profiles, and the $24 USD GDS distribution surcharge introduced in October 2024 is eliminated.
Corporate clients enjoy customized pricing based on their travel volume and specific company agreements, along with streamlined expense management, consolidated reporting, and policy compliance tools for better control over bookings. This direct airline relationship offers exclusive promotions, priority support, and simplified procurement for complex itineraries. Moreover, the platform allows dynamic bundling of flights and ancillary services, simplifying the process even further.
Strategic Collaboration Sets New Industry Standards
AirBooking’s collaboration brings unmatched NDC expertise, backed by a proven travel technology team with a stellar record, including achieving the first-ever IATA NDC Level 4 certification in 2019. The platform delivers a significant 50-70% savings compared to traditional GDS solutions, all while ensuring full compliance with IATA NDC 21.3 standards.
“We’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of NDC technology through our industry
experience,” added George Rajan. “Now with AirBooking, we’re scaling that expertise to serve
the global travel community. Our partnership with Turkish Airlines exemplifies how modernairline retailing should work – delivering exclusive content, transparent pricing, and significant
cost savings while maintaining the comprehensive inventory coverage that travel professionals
require.”
