Amadeus achieves dual NDC level 3 certification

12 Jul 2018 2092 | World Travel News

Amadeus has received IATA’s level three New Distribution Capability (NDC) certification as an aggregator, adding to its existing level three NDC certification as an IT provider.

Level three, the highest NDC certification, is awarded to companies that can demonstrate the ability to execute Offer and Order Management. This means that Amadeus is able to consume NDC offers from airlines and distribute them to travel sellers.

Amadeus says it is one of the first providers to have achieved level three certification both as an aggregator and IT provider

Amadeus received the level three NDC certification as an IT provider in 2016 , and was the first to renew this certification on version 18.1, the most up-to-date, released in March this year.

Through its NDC-X programme, Amadeus is connecting airlines and travel sellers using the NDC standard. This certification has been achieved through Amadeus’ work with Travix, an OTA that joined the programme earlier this year.
