Accelya and Lufthansa Group have signed a long-term New Distribution Capability (NDC) extension, which will see Accelya continue to enable NDC at scale for six of Lufthansa Group’s top airlines, including Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa, SWISS, Discover Airlines and Air Dolomiti.
The new agreement will further enhance the NDC solutions in place today for Lufthansa Group, providing a platform to explore further retailing capabilities.
“We remain wholly committed to our NDC journey and continue to aim for significant growth in the NDC channel in the coming years,” said Frank Naeve, SVP Global Markets and Stations at Lufthansa Group. “This requires an approach which provides industrial scalability and offers highly flexible and modular components. Accelya, with its deep understanding of the airline industry combined with proven NDC adoption, is a strong partner for the Lufthansa Group’s next-level expansion phase.”
“We’re thrilled to be continuing our partnership with Lufthansa Group,” added Sam Gilliland, CEO of Accelya. “Having worked with them since the very start of their NDC journey, we’re excited to be contributing to the next phase of their NDC growth and enabling Lufthansa Group’s retail modernisation. 2024 looks set to be an exciting year for Accelya, and the industry, as we continue to enable pioneering airlines to take control of their retailing.”
