Airline retailing software company Accelya has reported a significant milestone in its activities, achieving a record-breaking day for corporate New Distribution Capability (NDC) bookings on January 7. This announcement coincides with a remarkable 146% year-over-year growth in corporate NDC volumes for 2024 compared to the previous year.
Tye Radcliffe, Chief Customer Success Officer at Accelya, highlighted the importance of this trend, noting that "2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for NDC adoption in corporate travel." His comments reflect the growing momentum of NDC as airlines and Travel Management Companies (TMCs) increasingly embrace modern retailing technologies. According to Radcliffe, these advancements are essential for accommodating the changing expectations of business travellers.
The FLX ONE platform developed by Accelya is a cornerstone of this transformation, providing airlines with the necessary tools to manage their retailing processes effectively. This platform also facilitates seamless integration with key travel sellers and technology providers, signalling a shift in how airlines approach distribution and customer engagement. The initiatives and growth observed in NDC adoption are poised to reshape corporate travel practices in the coming years.
