Navan announced the roll-out of a New Distribution Capability (NDC) integration with Emirates, establishing a direct connection that delivers Emirates' complete portfolio of fare products and services to Navan customers. NDC is a modern data transmission standard that gives airlines greater flexibility to create and distribute their offers. For travelers on Navan, this translates to more choice and better content, including exclusive fares, ancillaries, and promotions not available through legacy systems. Key benefits of the partnership to Navan customers include: Exclusive fares: Access Emirates content reserved for NDC, such as exclusive fares in economy and special promotions not available on legacy GDS channels.
Premium services: Seamlessly book and manage Emirates' complimentary chauffeur-drive service, applicable on bookings in First Class and Business Class, as well as baggage add-ons and seat selection, all conveniently within the Navan platform. Enhanced self-service: Streamline trip management with fully automated changes, cancellations and refunds, consistent across all of Navan's NDC connections. This integration with Emirates further solidifies Navan's position as a leader in modern airline distribution and gives its customers access to the airline's suite of world-class products for premium travel experiences.
The partnership with Emirates will bring Navan's NDC offerings to a total of 24 global airlines, including United Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Finnair, Air France, KLM, and Lufthansa Group Airlines.
