Pre-integrated NDC & flight aggregator

DRCT integration on ReservationHub

DRCT is a travel technology company and IATA-certified NDC aggregator based in Malta, co-founded by Viktor Nekrylov and Dmitry Ianishevskyi. It distributes airline NDC offers to travel agencies, TMCs and OTAs through DRCT API, DRCT Search and DRCT Extension, and reported more than 30 airline partners in 2022.

About DRCT

DRCT connects travel sellers to airline content outside the traditional GDS booking path. It describes itself as a single distribution layer that brings together airline offers from GDS, NDC, direct and low-cost channels. Lufthansa Group lists DRCT Ltd as an aggregator with global coverage and a Malta headquarters, and DRCT also appears on the approved aggregator list of Qatar Airways.

Sellers reach its content through three products: DRCT API, DRCT Search and DRCT Extension. The Extension is a plug-in that shows airline offers inside an agent's existing GDS screen, so agents can book NDC fares without changing desktop. Airline partners named in trade press include Lufthansa Group, Emirates, United, British Airways and Air France-KLM.

In 2022 DRCT said more than 30 airlines worked with it and more than 1,100 sellers at TMCs, OTAs and agencies used its content, mainly in Europe, the UK and the US. One Eastern European consolidator moved 68% of its agents' Lufthansa Group sales from the GDS to NDC within three months of joining.
