Julian Russell, executive director IT and supplier relations at GlobalStar, said the partnership is a positive step toward providing the members of the partner network with choice when deciding how they book and service NDC content on behalf of their clients. AirGateway’s platform, he said, “allows our partners to bypass additional surcharges, while providing a consistent workflow and full servicing capabilities across a broad range of carriers.”
AirGateway, according to the announcement, enables full access and end-to-end servicing of NDC content for more than 28 airlines under the agency’s IATA billing and settlement plan as well as low-cost and consolidated content.
The AirGateway platform provides a single interface to shop, book, issue and fully service NDC airlines, said the announcement, with the bookings automatically reporting through to the TMC’s mid/back-office to help standardize billing and reporting.
Jorge Díaz, CEO of AirGateway, said the arrangement “will help us on our mission to bring NDC-based distribution to every corner of the three relevant regions at a global scale.”
