“This launch signifies a monumental step in our modern retailing strategy, as we’ve worked closely with Travelport to ensure our NDC offering is seamless for agencies, allowing them to provide the best options for travelers,” said Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines at MAG. “By making our NDC content more accessible to travel retailers and enabling agents to easily manage and service our NDC bookings through Travelport+, we hope to propel greater NDC adoption.”
“Agents and travelers need the ability to search and book the most relevant products and services from Malaysia Airlines, without any extra effort,” said Jason Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Travel Partners at Travelport. “This launch ensures that NDC content from Malaysia Airlines is retail-ready for agencies using Travelport+, and that dynamic fares are displayed in a way that makes it easy to shop, sell and service both NDC and traditional content all in one place.”
