TPConnects’ NDC solution for FCTG independent is now live, giving agents a wider range of travel options

TPConnects, a majority-owned subsidiary of Flight Centre Travel Group, offers an advanced and comprehensive platform for airline content distribution from multiple sources – for instance, traditional filed content, NDC-led, or low-cost carrier content. The TPConnects solution has various features, including a state-of-the-art online booking engine, travel content aggregation, and efficient management of various travel-related services.

The TPConnects solution won’t just broaden customer options but also lead to greater client satisfaction and loyalty, and with its streamlined booking processes, save agents time and money. By connecting to a broader network of airlines and travel suppliers, agents will be able to increase revenue streams, tap into new markets and customer segments, and ultimately generate more sales.

The TPConnects solution is currently available for FCTG Independent agents in Australia, with rollouts planned for New Zealand, the USA, Canada, and South Africa.

TPConnects CEO, Rakshit Desai, said, “We are pleased to have launched our platform for FCTG Independent. This launch validates the product market fit and global potential of the TPConnects platform. We will continue to build NDC solutions that unlock modern retailing opportunities for the industry.”
