Oman Air announced it has reached a multiyear partnership with Travelport, including the addition of NDC content distribution.

This enhanced agreement, according to the announcement, marks a significant milestone as Travelport becomes the first modern travel retailer to secure an NDC distribution agreement with Oman Air.

Building on a partnership dating to 1993, the renewed agreement maintains Oman Air’s existing EDIFACT distribution while introducing comprehensive NDC content capabilities through Travelport’s advanced retailing platform, Travelport+, according to the announcement.

Through NDC, Travelport-connected travel agencies will gain access to Oman Air’s complete portfolio of modern retail offerings, including dynamic pricing, rich content and a full range of ancillary services.

Oliver Von Rabenau, vice president – revenue management and distribution at Oman Air, said, “Adding NDC distribution through our longstanding partnership with Travelport represents a crucial step in our digital transformation and our commitment to advancing modern airline retailing.”

Damian Hickey, global head of travel partners at Travelport, said, “This agreement demonstrates Oman Air’s trust in Travelport’s proven NDC capabilities and our track record of delivering airline content through modern retail channels.”
