United Airlines and NDC May 2017
2005 2013
LAPTOP/TABLET WEARABLES AUTOMOTIVE SMART TV ONBOARD 45% of adults state that their smartphone is their primary computing device 66% suffer from Nomophobia: anxiety driven by distance from connected device.
Our customers are getting used to modern retailing And smart homes and devices are just the beginning Artificial Intelligence in here to stay 30
But in external channels we re trying to describe all of this Using this. 31
Current messaging standards limit retailing capabilities GDSs build customer offers and offload some processing from airline systems: Building itinerary options using schedule files United Schedules Availability Airfare Pricing itineraries using filed fares from ATPCO GDS Obtaining seat availability through cache, direct polling or using custom calculators Agency OTA Customer TMC Traditional distribution efficiently provides anonymously priced itinerary results, but doesn t easily lend itself to dynamic merchandising and personalized offers 32
Today s model is not focused on merchandising Direct channel bookings have dramatically higher merchandising revenue at booking than do indirect channel bookings Airlines pursue direct channel booking strategy to maximize merchandising revenue and minimize costs Airlines need to modernize capabilities in collaboration with GDSs and TMCs to more effectively enable personalized offers to customers Illustrative, not to scale 33
So why do we need another standard?
Our current data transmission standard was first developed over 50 years ago
And while that was a major improvement over this
And these
It won t ever allow us to be this
How can NDC help? Enables a customer-centric shopping experience in the travel agency channel NDC XML messages support rich content Gives travel agents the opportunity to sell ancillary services Ability to provide real-time, dynamic offers Customers should be able to have a consistent shopping experience, wherever they shop for travel Ability to buy additional products and services Ability to be recognized and receive personalized offers, or shop anonymously 39
NDC Overview New Distribution Capability (NDC) is an IATA-led industry initiative to develop an XMLbased language standard for communications between airlines and third party systems.
