Global aggregator TPConnects Technologies today announced a tenfold increase in Qantas NDC (New Distribution Capability) bookings via its Iris platform in just six months.
Australia and New Zealand have emerged as key markets for TPConnects Technologies, now accounting for 30 per cent of the company’s global booking volume. Qantas represents a significant portion of this volume. TPConnects is owned by Flight Centre Travel Group.
“Our success story with Qantas is a shining example of how airlines can leverage Iris to drive NDC adoption and harness the full potential of NDC,” TPConnects Technologies director of product, Stephanos Kykkotis, said. “We are proud to be live with Qantas and to provide tremendous value to travel agencies globally, and even more so for Australia and New Zealand, by simplifying access to their rich NDC content.”
TPConnects Technologies’ Iris is a leading aggregator with a global customer base. Travel agencies using Iris have access to Qantas’ NDC content alongside traditional EDIFACT, LCC, and other NDC content, all within a single interface.
“Our collaboration with TPConnects and the Iris platform is an important step in our NDC strategy,” Qantas head of Distribution and Payments, Nadine Dawood Morgan, said. “By making our NDC content, features, and benefits available on Iris, we’re empowering travel sellers with the tools they need to offer our customers a wider range of products and a more personalized experience.”
Iris features NDC content from major airlines globally, supporting travel sellers across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Travel sellers can take advantage of advanced retailing features such as smart pricing, commission management, and content control.
