Airlines Reporting Corp. has implemented Turkish Airways’ New Distribution Capability offering into the ARC Direct Connect program, ARC announced Tuesday.
The partnership enables Turkish Airlines to deliver “a more personalized traveler experience while giving agencies and corporate buyers more options to manage transactions, minimize risk and track data within ARC’s settlement platform,” according to ARC.
Concurrently, Turkish Airlines, as it readies to roll out on Oct. 1 TKConnect, its new NDC distribution channel, announced that beginning on that date, it will charge a fee of $24 per ticket to all reservations made via global distribution system EDIFACT channels, which include Amadeus, Travelport, Hitit, Travelsky, Infini and Sirena. Turkish Airlines content in Sabre went dark on Sept. 1 after the companies have yet to come to a renewal agreement.
Earlier this month, Turkish Airlines also named its aggregator partners for its NDC expansion.
