Leading global online travel agency Expedia Group has adopted Amadeus’ New Distribution Capability (NDC) technology, expanding its strategic partnership with the travel technology innovator.

NDC allows airlines to easily build, and tailor offers using the latest merchandising techniques, and to efficiently present and distribute them in a way that enriches and enhances the shopping experience for travel sellers such as Expedia Group and its customers.

“This move further emphasizes our commitment to offering travelers the widest range of choices and personalized experiences, in line with the industry’s ongoing embrace of NDC technology,” Chris Hodges, Vice President, Global Connectivity & Partner Solutions at Expedia Group, said.

According to an announcement, the multi-year agreement with Expedia reinforces Amadeus’ commitment to accelerate the industry evolution towards modern, enhanced retailing, and to help the travel ecosystem to deliver value that supports both industry growth and an improved traveler experience.

“Bringing one of our largest online travel agency partners onboard is a great illustration of this, Abdou said.

Amadeus has worked with Expedia Group for nearly two decades. Expedia Group is one of the largest online travel agencies in the world and provides industry-leading technology solutions to fuel partner growth and success.

“Building on our relationships with both airlines and travel sellers, we are in a strong position to foster cross-industry collaboration on NDC to the benefit of travelers everywhere,” he added.
