Airline participation

New Distribution Capability links you directly with the airline. The airline can then present special offers you won’t find in the GDS. All NDC airlines participate in the GDS, but not every airline participates in NDC. The special offers may include availability of certain fares and booking classes.

For additional information about NDC and participating airlines, refer to NDC Airline Capabilities.
