Saudia has received Level 4 certification for the
International Air Transport Association's New Distribution Capability
standards. The certification level, added in March, means that "travel
agents integrated with Saudia are directly able to easily access the products
that are available on the airline's website, thereby providing a consistent
shopping experience for the guests … similarl to the way guests book on the
Saudia.com website," according to Saudia VP of sales Richard Nuttall. IATA
currently lists 12 airlines certified as Level 4.
