New Distribution Capability content from Amadeus is now available in the Concur Travel platform, Amadeus announced.
The integration enables corporations and travel management companies using Concur to shop, book and service NDC content from the 27 carriers activated to provide the content through Amadeus. The partnership with SAP Concur will “further accelerate [the] process of adoption” as “NDC continues to gain traction in the corporate travel space,” according to Amadeus travel distribution EVP Elena Avila.
Concur already has been providing NDC content via Sabre following the launch of its new booking experience last year, which it continues to develop in phases. In a recent interview with BTN, Concur Travel president Charlie Sultan said he was “a little bit surprised” at the slow pace of customer adoption of GDS-powered NDC bookings, but added that Concur has been prioritizing GDS NDC content due to demand from TMC partners.
