NDC

New Distribution Capability

Smarter, Simpler Air Travel

What is NDC?

Enhances the overall booking experience

The New Distribution Capability (NDC), developed by IATA, is a modern standard for air ticket distribution using XML technology. It allows airlines to share real-time fares, ancillary services (e.g. baggage, seats), and personalized offers directly with travel agents and customers, bypassing the limitations of traditional Global Distribution Systems (GDS).

Where can I make NDC booking?

NDC offers two main booking methods to enhance how airlines share flight information and services with travel agencies.
Nan Hwa has now consolidated all services into a ONE platform, having already aggregated 17+ airlines.
You can access bookings seamlessly at one.nanhwa.com.

API Integration

A technical tool that connects an agent’s system to an airline’s, giving real-time access to flights, prices, and extras. It’s flexible but needs tech setup.

B2B Portal

A website where agents log in to book flights manually. It’s easy, requires no coding, and suits simpler needs.
