American Airlines makes a U-turn

On 28 May 2024 American Airlines announced that Chief Commercial Officer Vasu Raja would leave the airline in June. At the same time one of Mr Raja’s key initiatives to restrict the award of AAdvantage miles to customers of traditional travel agencies was reversed.

As the dust settles, we consider the implications for the wider adoption of modern airline distribution.

NDC is here to stay?

As 2024 progresses we're starting to see NDC bookings increase. T2RL estimates that the total market for NDC bookings in 2022 was around 85 million or 3% of the total passenger market with this expected to have grown by over two thirds in 2023 and further still in 2024.?

Top tier airlines have set the pace and established many of the necessary processes, laying the foundations on which other, smaller airlines may now build their NDC strategies.
