EGYPTAIR has become the first airline in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region to deploy the latest IATA NDC 24.4 standard in production, in partnership with TPConnects Technologies.
The rollout
strengthens the airline’s digital retailing capabilities through TPConnects’
Astra platform, enabling enhanced services for travel sellers.
The advanced standard
delivers improved order management, more accurate pricing and servicing, better
penalty visibility, and streamlined accounting processes.
The deployment
supports EGYPTAIR’s transition toward modern airline retailing while improving
efficiency for travel partners and customers.
The achievement builds
on EGYPTAIR’s earlier adoption of TPConnects’ Astra NDC solution, which
provides travel agents, online travel agencies, and travel management companies
access to the airline’s products and services.
Both companies said the milestone reflects their commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and next-generation airline distribution.
“Deploying NDC 24.4 in production demonstrates EGYPTAIR’s commitment to delivering the most advanced booking and servicing experience to our travel partners and customers today,” said Amr Adawy, EGYPTAIR AIRLINES, VP Commercial. “This platform provides the foundation for continuous innovation, allowing us to further enhance our capabilities and introduce new features that drive value for our partners and passengers.”
"We are honoured to support EGYPTAIR as the first airline in the Middle East and Africa to deploy NDC 24.4 in production," said Kristiaan VanDijken, VP Account Management – Airlines,TPConnects Technologies.
