NDC 2021 and the path to industrialization

NDC offers an opportunity for the travel industry to catch up with other digital retailers and to rebuild travel according to the changing needs of all players. In the last 18 months, despite the pandemic, momentum around NDC hasn’t stalled. In fact, the widely shared vision to focus more on traveler needs and simplify processes has driven much progress.

To explore the progress and sentiment around NDC we reached out to partners across the industry such as airlines, travel sellers and corporations, as well as our own Amadeus experts. Driven by the collected insights, we are able to provide an overview of where we are today as an industry in terms of NDC readiness, shed light on some of the barriers that still exist to reach full industrialization, and show what modern travel retailing looks like.

The time to startthinkingabout how you can innovate with NDC is now. 2021 marks a significant milestone in the industry’s NDC journey and Amadeus, together with its customers and partners, is ready to make 2021 the year that NDC scales.
