Airlines Reporting Corp has integrated Finnair’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) fares into its ARC Direct Connect programme.
The US-based company said the move “enables the airline to expand its direct distribution strategy to the United States and its territories”.
Finnair will now be able to offer “flexible payment options for NDC transactions, including cash and card payments, along with a consistent settlement experience for travel agencies,” added ARC.
Jenni Suomela, Finnair’s vice president of global sales and channel management, said: “Partnering with ARC is an important milestone on our NDC journey. Adoption of NDC through ARC Direct Connect will benefit our joint travel agency network and ultimately enhance customer experience by allowing more choice for travellers.”
Paige Blunt, senior manager of Direct Connect and One Order at ARC, added: “ARC’s Direct Connect solution gives the ARC travel agency community access to Finnair’s expanded NDC offerings while providing flexible payments and business rules that uniquely fit Finnair.”
