Hahn Air announced that
its IATA certified NDC platform now accepts BSP Cash as an additional form of
payment for connected travel agencies in more than 190 markets worldwide. At
the same time, the company introduces new connections to three air content
aggregators, an OTA and an award-winning travel app.
The aggregators Duffel,
Thomalex and AirGateway now enable travel agencies to access content from Hahn
Air’s NDC platform featuring Hahn Air’s over 350 partner airlines. This
includes the ability to shop for, price, pay, book and ticket their customers’
chosen itineraries. Innovative UK-based software start-up Duffel provides the
connection to Hahn Air’s NDC platform to its international customer base, among
others, the fast-growing French OTA Ulysse and the Chilean travel management
start-up Milla. US-based Thomalex is an online booking platform for small and
mid-sized travel agencies, OTAs and TMCs. AirGateway from Germany can be used
by any travel agency worldwide, whether IATA accredited or not. Also joining
the portfolio of Hahn Air’s NDC partners with a direct connection are German
online travel agency Flyla.com and the innovative personal travel assistant,
App in the Air.
“We are very proud to
see our NDC platform developing rapidly and we are very pleased to be working
with such innovative partners as Duffel, Thomalex, AirGateway, Flyla.com and
App in the Air”, says Christopher Allison, Head of NDC at Hahn Air. “In the
coming months, we will continue to connect more agencies, aggregators and
partner airlines to our platform and introduce new features such as enhanced
processes for itinerary changes and schedule changes as well as additional
support for ancillary services. We believe that NDC will play an important role
in overcoming the current industry crisis caused by COVID-19.”
Hahn Air’s NDC platform
gives Hahn Air partner airlines access to an additional distribution channel as
well as the word of NDC without having to develop their own solution. Travel
agents benefit from access to Hahn Air’s partner airlines and can use their
preferred forms of payment in more than 190 markets, including credit card and
the recently launched BSP Cash.
