BCD has launched New Distribution Capability content with British Airways, which the travel management company said is part of its strategy to "accelerate NDC availability and grow those bookings at scale."
BCD systems currently connect to NDC from 54 airlines, and with BA's content launched, the TMC said that content from 22 of those airlines will be available for customers to book by the end of the year. BCD and BA "worked together to make sure the British Airways NDC content met our certification criteria and the needs of our corporate customers," BCD SVP of global distribution strategy and supplier management and delivery Thane Jackson said in a statement.
BCD said NDC bookings currently account for 65 percent of traveler itineraries in cases where NDC is enabled.
