LANGLEY, UK — NDC content from Malaysia Airlines with enhanced NDC servicing capabilities is now available in the Travelport+ marketplace.
Travelport’s agency customers in select markets can now easily view, compare and book NDC offers from Malaysia’s national carrier, alongside traditional sources of content, using Travelport’s APIs, Smartpoint Cloud and Smartpoint desktop agency point-of-sale solutions.
The rollout will first become available to all agency customers located in Australia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Access to NDC content and servicing for Malaysia Airlines in the Travelport+ platform will then roll out to agency customers located in additional countries in the coming weeks.
Travelport’s complete NDC solution for Malaysia Airlines gives agents the ability to fully service NDC bookings, which includes modifications, cancellations and managing involuntary changes.
“This launch signifies a monumental step in our modern retailing strategy, as we’ve worked closely with Travelport to ensure our NDC offering is seamless for agencies, allowing them to provide the best options for travellers,” said Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines at MAG. “By making our NDC content more accessible to travel retailers and enabling agents to easily manage and service our NDC bookings through Travelport+, we hope to propel greater NDC adoption.”
Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport, added: “Agents and travellers need the ability to search and book the most relevant products and services from Malaysia Airlines, without any extra effort. This launch ensures that NDC content from Malaysia Airlines is retail-ready for agencies using Travelport+, and that dynamic fares are displayed in a way that makes it easy to shop, sell and service both NDC and traditional content all in one place.”
