American’s Senior Vice President of Partnership Strategy Scott Laurence said, “We are thrilled to sign these new agreements and continue strengthening our connections with the three top worldwide distribution systems. We are eager to collaborate with our distribution partners to increase our retailing capacity using NDC technology so that we can offer travel retailers and customers the goods and services that are most important to them.
The airline will be able to provide its finest content, goods, and rates through NDC links and direct channels, such aa.com, starting in 2023 thanks to these new partnerships, which give American content flexibility. The NDC-capable content from America is already accessible with Amadeus and Travelport and will be made available in Sabre in the early months of 2023.
Travel agencies, corporations, and other clients have more options and easier access to American goods and services due to its NDC-powered retail capabilities. Included in the improved offerings are Main Plus, Main Select, and Flagship® Business Plus rates, carbon offsets through Cool Effect®, and day-of-travel conveniences including seat selection upgrade options, and pre-ordered meals. These are all accessible through NDC connections and on aa.com.
