Global travel agency group Lufthansa City Center (LCC), and Atriis Technologies Ltd. announced the pilot operation of the international New Distribution Capability (NDC) aggregator “Lucy” for Singapore Airlines content. After its first venture into NDC last year, SIA continues to strengthen its commitment to the NDC game with this new partnership.
The NDC is a travel industry-supported program launched by International Air Transport Association (IATA), aimed to address the end-to-end airline distribution process for enhanced customer experiences.
LUCY is a NDC platform developed by Atriis Technologies Ltd and launched by Lufthansa City Center in 2018 to create new distribution opportunities. The multi-provider platform integrates and consolidates data of traditional GDS providers such as Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport through cutting-edge technology, making it a booking novelty for travel agencies that is set to disrupt the Southeast Asia travel market.
Lufthansa City Center’s Singapore-based agency, Citystate Ardent Travel, runs the pilot operation; it is also the first Southeast Asian agency to implement the Lucy NDC system. The milestone came to fruition thanks to innovative technological solutions and a remarkable pragmatic and speedy cooperation between the partners Singapore Airlines, Atriis Technologies Ltd, Lufthansa City Center and travel agency LCC Citystate Ardent Travel.
