The vendors’ view on the transition to a world of Offers and Orders

whitePaper | October 13, 2022

Based on present trends, we believe it will be possible for some airlines and their partners to see a world of 100% Offers and Orders by 2030. This means that full capabilities, based on global open standards and a modular architecture, need to be ready and available for any airline that wishes to embark on this journey. In partnership with key industry players, IATA has published a vision of a world with 100% Offers and Orders. The New Distribution Capability (NDC) has been a catalyst in this journey to airline retailing.
