Chris Hodges, Vice President, Global Connectivity & Partner Solutions at Expedia Group comments: “Renewing our partnership with Amadeus and integrating its aggregated NDC content to our connectivity portfolio marks a significant step forward in our collaboration. This move further emphasizes our commitment to offering travelers the widest range of choices and personalized experiences, in line with the industry’s ongoing embrace of NDC technology.”
NDC allows airlines to easily build, and tailor offers using the latest merchandising techniques, and to efficiently present and distribute them in a way that enriches and enhances the shopping experience for travel sellers such as Expedia Group and its customers.
Sam Abdou, Executive Vice President Global Sales Airline IT, Distribution and Global Online Travel Agencies, Amadeus, said “Amadeus is determined to enable all stakeholders to make the most of the potential that NDC can deliver, and bring one of our largest online travel agency partners onboard is a great illustration of this. Building on our relationships with both airlines and travel sellers, we are in a strong position to foster cross-industry collaboration on NDC to the benefit of travelers everywhere.” Expedia Amadeus NDC technology
