Navan has established a direct connection to Singapore Airlines' New Distribution Capability content, which the company said would provide more consistent shopping and servicing for its clients.
The travel and expense platform now is connected to Singapore Airlines via its Amadeus Altéa NDC 21.3 API, and Navan said 70 percent of bookings on the carrier are being made through the NDC channel. Navan previously connected to Singapore Airlines' NDC content via an aggregator, according to a company spokesperson.
With the direct connect, Navan has access to exclusive fares including corporate fares and private fares as well as fare bundles and such ancillaries as seat selection and prepaid excess baggage. The connection also will help travelers and agents manage changes, cancellations and refunds more efficiently, the company said.
The carrier joins other carriers with next-generation NDC connections to Navan including SAS, Qantas, ITA Airways, Emirates and Lufthansa Group.
