Emirates takes NDC content live in Travelport for North American agencies

Emirates Airlines is now live with NDC content for North American travel agencies in the Travelport GDS.

The deployment follows Emirates’ initial Travelport NDC activations in June, which applied to agencies in Australia, Indonesia the United Arab Emirates and the U.K.

In that June announcement, Travelport said that its agency subscribers would have access to Emirates dynamic offers and additional ancillary products that are only available via Emirates NDC.

Emirates NDC content will also soon be available via Sabre, the GDS said in a Wednesday email.

“We’ve completed the integration and are in the final stages of testing,” said Sabre chief communications officer Kristin Hays.

Travel Weekly has also asked Amadeus and Emirates about their NDC integration status. The two companies entered into an agreement that was to set the stage for an NDC integration in 2022.

Emirates will introduce its retrofitted Boeing 777s to the U.S. in November, with the first aircraft scheduled to debut at Chicago O’Hare Nov. 1.
