Airlines Reporting Corp. is integrating its settlement data
with NDC Exchange, the marketplace that provides interoperability between
schema versions of the International Air Transport Association's New
Distribution Capability. ARC president and CEO Mike Premo said the
collaboration will allow ARC and ATPCO, which developed NDC Exchange with air
transportation communications and technology company SITA, to "offer more
flexible transaction processing workflows, billing and settlement, and outputs
that enable airlines and agencies to efficiently manage their partnerships as
available content grows." The partnership also will allow ATPCO to support
migration to One
Order—in which passengers use a single order for air travel rather than separate
tickets and passenger name records—according to ATPCO president and CEO Rolf
Purzer.
