Verteil Technologies Partners with AirJapan to Bring NDC Excellence to Asia and Beyond

At Verteil Technologies, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of airline retailing, and we’re thrilled to announce our latest milestone—a strategic partnership with AirJapan, a subsidiary of ANA HOLDINGS. This collaboration represents a monumental step forward in modernizing airline distribution, allowing travel sellers globally to access AirJapan’s enriched New Distribution Capability (NDC) content through Verteil’s industry-leading platform.

Why This Partnership Matters

The airline industry is undergoing a transformation, and NDC is at the forefront of this change. As a member of ANA Group, AirJapan is dedicated to offering high-quality air travel across Asia, and now, through Verteil’s Direct Connect platform, travel sellers can tap into a seamless shopping and servicing experience. This partnership aligns perfectly with Verteil’s mission to simplify and enhance airline distribution for travel sellers worldwide.

Starting in Q1 2025, travel sellers will have direct access to AirJapan’s NDC-enabled services, enabling them to bypass intermediaries and take advantage of real-time, competitive content. This not only makes the booking process more efficient but also empowers sellers to deliver an unparalleled experience to their customers.

What’s on Offer

AirJapan’s integration into Verteil’s platform is packed with advanced features designed to streamline the booking and post-booking process for travel sellers. Key capabilities include:

  • Comprehensive shopping and booking tools that offer access to real-time inventory and pricing.
  • Post-booking servicing for greater flexibility, including cancellations and automated refunds.
  • Seamless ancillary management to handle add-ons like preferred seats and baggage efficiently.

Why Travel Sellers Should Be Excited

This partnership is not just about access to AirJapan’s content—it’s about transformation. With Verteil’s solution, travel sellers gain:

  • Direct connections that eliminate the complexities of working with multiple intermediaries.
  • Enhanced efficiency through automation and streamlined processes.
  • Cost savings, thanks to features like real-time content and zero distribution cost recovery (DCR) fees.

Travel sellers operating in key Asian markets—Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea—are particularly well-positioned to benefit from this collaboration. With Verteil’s localized support through our Tokyo office, we’re committed to ensuring a smooth and efficient onboarding experience for travel sellers in the region.

Localized Support for a Global Impact

Our Tokyo office plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success of this partnership. With dedicated teams for sales, account management, and customer support, we’re uniquely equipped to address the needs of both AirJapan and travel sellers in the region. This local presence underscores Verteil’s commitment to supporting airlines and travel sellers in achieving their distribution goals.

Looking Ahead

As AirJapan prepares to go live on Verteil’s platform, we’re excited about the opportunities this partnership brings. From enriched content and streamlined processes to innovative features, the future of travel distribution is brighter than ever. For travel sellers, this is the perfect time to leverage Verteil’s platform and stay ahead in a competitive marketplace.
