What is NDC?
8
NDC is a travel industry-supported program
launched by IATA for the development and
market adoption of a new, XML-based data
transmission standard.
The NDC standard will enhance the
capability of communications between
airlines and travel agents, and will be open to
any third party, intermediary, IT provider or
non-IATA member, to implement and use.
