Etihad Airways has partnered with Travelfusion as it continues its New Distribution Capability (NDC) strategy launched earlier this year.
The venture will provide access for travel agents and corporate clients to Etihad’s content and enhance the sales distribution of tickets and ancillaries.
Travelfusion will make use of the airline’s International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) certified NDC platform to provide all relevant booking information such as cabin details, fare rules, baggage allowances, as well as access to book flights.
“Connecting through Travelfusion benefits the travel trade and reduces the investment required to build an independent IT system,” commented Dieter Westermann, VP-Revenue Management, Etihad Airways.
“Travelfusion has been a pioneer in NDC since the birth of the programme and we are very pleased with the opportunity to bring our experience to bear in working with Etihad Airways in this exciting new dimension in their distribution strategy,” remarked Moshe Rafiah, CEO, Travelfusion.
Earlier this year, Etihad Airways secured the NDC Level 3 certification, a status given by IATA recognising the airline’s adoption of NDC technology.
