United Airlines has inked a new deal with Amadeus that makes the airline’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) and EDIFCAT content available to its users.

The two first inked a multi-year deal back in July 2021, which focused on bringing NDC into the mainstream for travel sellers. This week’s news extends that partnership, and again targets “the full benefits of NDC content” for users.

“Amadeus has been a vital distribution partner in the deployment of NDC, and we are delighted to accelerate that journey today,” said Kurt Van Meir, Managing Director of distribution, at United Airlines.

Amadeus has 48,000 users across more than 155 markets worldwide.
