Qantas to launch new distribution model mid-next year, that incorporates NDC technology

The Australian national carrier Qantas has today announced a new model for travel agents to access Qantas fares, as the airline continues to invest in its new distribution capabilities to better serve the evolving needs of agents and customers. Launching mid-next year, the new model reflects a global drive towards adoption of NDC technology, which has significant benefits for travel agents and their customers.
From 1 July 2025, agents will be able to access Qantas content a number of ways, with surcharge free options as well as varying ticket surcharges, including:

• Traditional indirect booking systems (also known as EDIFACT)
• Standard NDC
• Premium NDC
