IATA New Distribution Capability (NDC)

NDC is IATA’s XML messaging standard for airline retailing — the specification meant to let an airline offer, sell and service its own content directly to any seller, rather than through the fare and availability messages a Global Distribution System carries. It defines the offer and order lifecycle (AirShopping, OfferPrice, OrderCreate, OrderChange) and is versioned by schema release. IATA operates a certification programme on top of it, from entry-level conformance up to NDC@Scale.
