Aeronology is Scoot’s first New Distribution Capability (NDC) aggregator and has created the direct connection via Navitaire’s NDC distribution technology. Navitaire is an Amadeus-owned distribution company.
Australian technology company Aeronology has again expanded its comprehensive travel technology offering for Retail, Corporate and Wholesale businesses by offering Direct Connect with Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines Group (SIA).
All of Scoot’s fare content is now available via Aeronology’s Portal Applications and APIs. This means that travel advisors who use the Aeronology platform via Express Tickets in Australia or New Zealand can now book and ticket off the same screen as their Global Distribution System (GDS) through Direct Connect. Travel advisors now have access to Scoot flights across its 56 active destinations at Scoot’s web prices and down to last seat availability. They are also able to add their own mark up and logo on the Scoot flight itinerary.
Aeronology is committed to providing its travel advisor users the best Point of Sale (POS) systems in the world. Adding a low-cost carrier like Scoot to its growing portfolio of GDS and NDC airlines underscores the company’s aim of creating a best-in-class travel booking engine.
“Aeronology is extremely proud of its technology and distribution relationship with Scoot,” said Russell Carstensen, Aeronology CEO. “It is critical that we continue to provide our customers and travel advisors with the ability to sell Scoot flights off our platform and be able to bundle packages together in key leisure markets as the travel market evolves, rebuilds, and expands.”
“In addition, travel advisors will be able to easily charge a service fee for their service; this was nearly impossible in the past,” Mr Carstensen added.
Scoot Chief Commercial Officer, Mr Calvin Chan, said: “Scoot is constantly looking for ways to strengthen our business capabilities and improve the customer experience. We are excited to partner with Aeronology to develop Scoot’s NDC capability and provide our customers with a more personalised travel booking experience. With NDC, we now have greater flexibility to create customised offerings and bundles on third-party platforms, that are tailored based on customers’ needs and preferences, at real-time.”
