Airline registration requirements for NDC content

Agencies who want to use NDC content must first register with Air France.

• Agency contacts their Air France KLM account manager.

• Agency signs AFKL’s “Agency Access Agreement” for NDC.
  Note: If an agent already has an AFKL Agency Access Agreement, they will still need to provide the airline with their Travelport IATA/PCC details and follow the remaining steps in this process to enable content via Travelport.

• Agency must provide AFKL a complete and accurate list of their IATA/ARCs and Travelport+ (1G) PCCs.

• AFKL will validate IATA and PCC information and forward details to Travelport.

• The agency's Travelport account manager then works with the agency to onboard them for AFKL NDC content.

American have designated Travelport trusted partner status and therefore all Travelport customers using Travelport+ have access to American NDC content without additional airline registration requirements.

Private Fares: If you currently have any negotiated or private fares with American, please contact your American sales representative to access it via NDC.

• Agency registers via the ‘registration’ tab at https://ndc.ba.com and can also discuss with their British Airways account manager.

• Agencies do not have to enter every single IATA into the carriers Saleshub with Traveport's setup. Agencies need to enter an IATA associated to their company and Travelport will locate the relevant hierarchy in Salesforce, so as long as the British Airways Account Manager has put all the IATAs in a single hierarchy, they will all be activated for the regions selected by the individual when using Saleshub (if they select global Travelport activates everything).

• Agency needs to accept BA’s terms of access for NDC.

• The Travelport NCRequest team will create a CRM task (for SMO countries) or raise a SNOW ticket (for Operator countries.

• For SMO countries, the Travelport Account Manager will activate BA on behalf of the agent in MyTravelport. For Operator countries, the Operator Helpdesk will activate BA on behalf of the agent in MyTravelport (making sure they have already checked with the relevant Account Manager that any necessary Operator commercial agreements are in place).

• The agency's Travelport account manager can then notify the agent that they are activated for BA NDC content.

• This process will take around 72 hours for most agents – if an agent is new to BA’s NDC content (i.e., hasn’t registered before via another aggregator) then it may take a day or two longer for BA to process and load fares.

Unlike other airlines, Emirates Airlines don’t have a registration process that agencies need to follow to gain access to their NDC content. An activation process is in place however, which has started on the 24th of June. We expect most agencies in relevant countries to gain access to Emirates NDC content within 2-3 weeks after launch date. Your Travelport point of contact will be in touch with you with further instructions if required.

Private Fares: If you currently have any negotiated or private fares with Emirates, you will need to contact your Emirates sales representative to access them via NDC. The same process as today in EDIFACT applies.

Non-IATA agents / Consolidators: As of today Emirates has no plans to provide access to NDC for non-IATA agents.
