For more than a decade, IATA's New Distribution Capability standard has been a topic of discussion and debate among airlines and travel sellers. In 2023, American Airlines was one of the first to make a bold push for NDC by moving 40% of its lowest fares to be available only through its own channels and NDC channels. But shortly after American's chief commercial officer, Vasu Raja announced he was leaving the company in May, the airline said it would reverse course on the strategy - delighting some travel advisors and fueling skepticism about the future of NDC. While it's now clear American's strategy didn't pan out, that doesn’t mean the industry should stand still or retreat, said Cory Garner, a former American Airlines executive who now runs his own airline distribution consultancy, Garner, in a keynote address at The Beat Live event in New York City Tuesday.

Too much industry focus is being placed on the “sexy” parts of #travel, according to Robert Rosenstein, co-founder and chairman of Agoda. “I hear tons of companies talking about product development. ‘This is my product, look at how cool it is, it’s a trip planner,'" Rosenstein said when asked how he viewed #AI at The Phocuswright Conference 2024. “Where can AI solve real problems? Where we transact, how we transact. I just hate checking into a hotel. It’s miserable,” Rosenstein said. “I’d like to see us solve some of those problems, instead of focusing all of our time on the travel journey part.” Watch the full session on #PhocusWire: https://bit.ly/3CMUuNf #traveltech #travelnews #travelindustry #travelplanning
