New Distribution Capability (NDC) is IATA’s pioneering data transmission standard. With the opportunities that NDC provides, the Lufthansa Group airlines are expanding their direct booking channels. As a travel agency, you will therefore benefit from being able to customise your offers much more and approach your customers in a way that is more focused on their requirements – with exclusive access to NDC Smart Offer, attractive savings and selected ancillary services, for example.

Your benefits at a glance: the Lufthansa Group airlines bundle together all the offers, exclusive content and solutions of a Direct NDC API connection in their NDC Partner Program. All interested partners therefore receive the support necessary to make their booking processes viable for the future and to make the best possible use of this innovative distribution channel.

There are three different options available to our distribution partners – direct connection, third-party interface or web-based access. They all provide direct access to the Lufthansa Group airlines’ offer – just as you want it and as changing customer needs require.
