NDC airlines list: which airlines sell NDC, and through which channels.

More airlines now sell their best offers to travel agencies through NDC, but each one chooses its own channels and rolls them out market by market. This list shows, region by region, how agencies can reach each airline's NDC content, with the source and date for every row.

Short answer

Dozens of airlines now sell NDC offers to travel agencies. Most network carriers, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa Group, British Airways, Singapore Airlines and American Airlines, offer NDC through at least one GDS (Amadeus, Sabre or Travelport), and many also run a direct API or agent portal. Availability still depends on the airline, the GDS and your point of sale.

Which airlines offer NDC to travel agencies?

Most large network airlines now offer NDC content to travel agencies, and a growing number of low-cost carriers do too. The tables below list 43 airlines and airline groups with a verified NDC route for agencies, grouped by region.

Each row shows how an agency can reach that airline's NDC offers: the airline's own API or portal, NDC inside Amadeus, Sabre or Travelport, or a named aggregator. The date in brackets is when that route was announced or went live, taken from the source in the last column. A GDS listed here does not mean NDC is live for every country: most airlines switch it on market by market.

As of November 2026. We only list a route when we could open a dated airline, GDS or industry source for it. If an airline is missing, it does not mean it has no NDC; it means we could not verify it. Airline names link to our airline profile where one exists.

NDC airlines in the Middle East

Gulf carriers were early NDC adopters. Two of them, flydubai and Qatar Airways, were among the first airlines to reach IATA NDC Level 3 certification.

NDC airlines in Europe and Türkiye

European carriers use NDC most actively to steer agency bookings. Several add a surcharge to traditional GDS (EDIFACT) tickets or hold some fares back for NDC, so the channel you book through changes the price.

NDC airlines in Asia-Pacific and South Asia

Asia-Pacific carriers often launch NDC in a handful of home and priority markets first, then add countries over months. JAL's Amadeus roll-out in October 2026 is a typical example.

How to check NDC availability for an airline and route

Treat any NDC list, including this one, as a starting point. Whether you can book a particular airline's NDC offer depends on four things: the airline, the channel, your point of sale and your agency's registration.

  1. Read the airline's trade or NDC page. Most NDC airlines publish one, listing approved channels and the registration form. Qatar Airways, for example, names its approved aggregators; Cathay Pacific asks agencies to register for Cathay Prime before connecting.
  2. Check your GDS's own carrier list. Travelport, for example, publishes a knowledge-base article per NDC airline and states that agencies must sign up with each airline separately before access is switched on. Ask your GDS account manager for the equivalent list.
  3. Confirm your country of sale. Etihad started on Sabre in Oman and Bahrain; IndiGo started on Amadeus in the UAE and Singapore. An airline can be live in one market and not yet in yours.
  4. Run a test shop on a real route. Search the city pair you sell most, compare the NDC and EDIFACT results, and check which servicing steps (change, refund, void) work before you sell at volume.
  5. Check the commercial terms. Look for distribution surcharges on GDS tickets and for fares or bundles that are only sold through NDC.

How agencies connect, and why coverage differs by market

Agencies reach NDC content in three ways, and most use more than one.

  • Direct to the airline. A direct NDC API or the airline's own agent portal, such as Emirates Gateway or TKCONNECT. Best content, but one integration and agreement per airline.
  • NDC inside a GDS. Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport now host NDC offers next to traditional fares. Easy if you already use that GDS, but each airline goes live per GDS and per market. See NDC vs GDS for the trade-offs.
  • Through an aggregator. One API to many NDC airlines, often with low-cost carriers too. Our guide to NDC aggregators covers how they work and what to ask.

Coverage differs by market for practical and commercial reasons. Airlines certify servicing, payment and BSP settlement country by country, so a launch usually starts in a few markets. Each airline also signs separate agreements with each GDS, and some, such as Oman Air and Royal Jordanian, chose one GDS first. Finally, an airline's sales priorities shape the order: home markets and high-yield corporate markets tend to come first.

For an agency, this means the right channel mix depends on your country and your top airlines. A Dubai agency selling Emirates, flydubai and Qatar Airways faces a different NDC picture from a London TMC selling BA, Lufthansa and American.

How ReservationHub fits

ReservationHub combines several of these routes in one booking platform. Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport are pre-integrated: accredited agencies can use their own credentials, and non-IATA agencies sell through consolidator connections. NDC content comes through the aggregators Verteil, Duffel, Travel NDC and Babylon NDC, and low-cost carriers through Travel Fusion.

Our integrations page lists more than 110 pre-built connections, including direct airline connections to Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa Group, Aegean and Oman Air. You can run it as a hosted Subscription Cloud Edition, own the code with the Source Code Edition, or use the TripGic Travel API.

Frequently asked questions

Which airlines use NDC?

Most large network airlines now sell through NDC, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Saudia, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa Group, British Airways, Air France-KLM, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Air India, American Airlines and United. Some low-cost carriers, such as flydubai, Pegasus and IndiGo, also offer NDC connections.

Which NDC airlines are available in Amadeus?

Airlines that have announced NDC content on the Amadeus Travel Platform include Emirates, Etihad, Saudia, Lufthansa Group, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas, American Airlines, Air Canada, IndiGo, Kenya Airways, Frontier and JAL. Availability is switched on market by market, so check your country of sale.

Which airlines offer NDC on Sabre?

Sabre carries NDC offers from airlines including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Saudia, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa Group, British Airways, Iberia, Air France-KLM, LOT, Singapore Airlines, ANA, Air India, American, United, Avianca and LATAM, according to Sabre and trade-press announcements from 2020 to 2025.

Which airlines are on Travelport+ NDC?

Travelport lists NDC airlines including Air Canada, Air France-KLM, Air India, ANA, American, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Etihad, EVA Air, Finnair, Iberia, LOT, Lufthansa Group, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, Saudia, SAS, Singapore Airlines, TAP and United. Oman Air was added in 2026.

Do I need to register with each airline to book NDC?

Usually yes. Even inside a GDS, many airlines require each agency to sign up for their NDC programme before access is switched on. Some airlines waive this for a given GDS, so read the airline's trade page and your GDS's guidance for that carrier.

Why is an airline's NDC content not showing in my GDS?

The airline may not be live with NDC in your country yet, your agency may not have completed the airline's registration, or your GDS may not have that airline's NDC at all. Check the airline's trade portal, then ask your GDS helpdesk which markets are active.
