In Today’s Scenario, the Airline Content is distributed using a third party distribution process. It works as follows-
1. Airlines follow NDC standards to Update their XML to share offers with rich content to Travel Agents, GDS, Aggregators or Travellers.
2. The Traveler reaches to the travel agent (That Could be TMC for Business Traveler & an OTA or Retailer for a Leisure traveler).
3. Travel Agents put the request to GDS System or Aggregators.
4. GDS & Aggregators pulls the information from Airlines directly through XML enabled with NDC standard- Fares, Schedule & Availability.
5. Combined offer relayed back to Travel Agent and Agent offers the same to the traveler.
Or
7. The Travel Agent can connect directly with NDC Enabled Airline XML to their system or Website to find the offer as per the traveler’s need.
