Air Canada’s NDC connection is now available on the APG Platform, APG’s NDC portal.
APG, the world's largest and most successful airline representation network with over 100 offices globally, is partnering with Air Canada, Canada's largest airline and a founding member of Star Alliance, to offer Air Canada’s full content via the APG NDC platform.
“APG is happy to be partnering with Air Canada, the largest airline in Canada to extend the offer in North Americas to our + 2 000 partner travel agencies worldwide. The full breadth of Air Canada content is available through our NDC Platform, and more functionalities will come in the coming months.” said Héloïse PARRAIN, APG Platform Director.
Under this agreement, APG Platform and Air Canada provide an end-to-end shopping and booking solution to thousands of travel agencies in 140 countries, including the possibility to book on hold and to manage after sales operations such as cancellation, refund and void. It is also possible to add ancillary services (seats, meals, etc.) during the booking process. The possibility of changing an itinerary post booking onto the APG Platform will be available in the coming months.
With 35 carriers available, offering the best fares, APG Platform is a ticketing platform which can assist travel agents to generate additional revenue by enlarging their catalogue and by selling air and non-air ancillaries combined. Uniquely, the APG Platform is promoted and supported in over 150 countries by the APG Network. The APG Platform is under the newest XML technology and follows all IATA standards.
With APG Platform, NON-IATA and IATA agencies can find the best offers in full transparency on all the routes operated by an airline. They can also combine airline tickets with non-air products, such as hotels, car rentals, and ancillary services (baggage, special meals, sport equipment, assistance, Wi-Fi access, lounge access, etc.).
