About NDC(New Distribution Capability)
New Distribution Capability (NDC) is a new communication standard developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the transmission of airline ticketing and related service information. Unlike the traditional EDIFACT standard, NDC enables the flexible and detailed exchange of information, facilitating more dynamic and personalized offerings. In addition, it allows seamless integration not only within the airline industry but also with a wide range of external partners.
