IATA Resolution 787

Industry policy International · 2012

Resolution 787 is the IATA industry resolution, adopted in 2012, that authorised New Distribution Capability — the XML messaging standard for airline retailing. It is not law and no regulator enforces it. It permits airlines to distribute their own offers directly rather than through the shared fare and availability model, and IATA layered a voluntary certification programme on top of it.

Sectoral regime. It binds the industries below; companies outside them generally fall outside it.

Industries

Each links to that industry as a scored cohort — so the question "how ready is this sector for the regime that governs it?" becomes one you can actually look at.

A regulation is the law; a standard is the machine-readable contract that satisfies it. Almost every regime in this catalog restricts an interface rather than requiring one — where a standard exists, it is the part a provider can actually publish.
