Amadeus and United Airlines have renewed their distribution agreement that reinforces a commitment to modern retailing and enhances communication between the airline and travel sellers.
According to the press release, the agreement included the addition of United’s NDC-enabled content that will be available to travel agencies and corporations worldwide later this year via the Amadeus Travel Platform.
United will deliver NDC-enabled ancillaries, amenities with added customer benefits, and continuous pricing for NDC-enabled agencies booking travel on United flights. There will also be added service capabilities to automate interaction with the customer.
An important benefit of this agreement is a better shopping experience enabled by NDC, including real-time updates and notifications related to the customer’s record, which United has advocated for as a long-standing member of?Amadeus’ NDC [X] program. Within this collaborative forum, United has been providing valuable feedback and assisting Amadeus to better display and distribute United’s content.
The?Amadeus Travel Platform?is the backbone of multiple front-end solutions, including?Amadeus Selling Platform Connect, Amadeus Travel API and Amadeus’ self-booking and expense solution, all with cross-channel compatibility so travel sellers and buyers can easily shop, sell and service unique offers from United.
