TOURVIS, an online travel platform, has announced its successful completion of Asia’s first New Distribution Capability

(NDC) connection with Air France-KLM. To celebrate this milestone, TOURVIS is launching a special promotional event offering customers discounted fares and waived ticketing fees.

The First in Asia to Develop a Direct NDC Connection with Air France-KLM

On June 28th, 2024, TOURVIS became the first in Asia to successfully develop a direct NDC connection with Air France-KLM. NDC (New Distribution Capability) is a new XML-based data transmission standard launched by IATA

(International Air Transport Association) to transform how air products are retailed.

This integration allows TOURVIS to provide real-time lowest-fare searches and ticket issuance for Air France and KLM

flights. In addition to standard information like departure and arrival times and flight duration, additional ancillary

services, such as seat selection, meal reservations, and in-flight free Internet access, will be continuously introduced.

Boris Darceaux, General Manager for Korea, Japan, and New Caledonia at Air France-KLM, expressed his enthusiasm, “We are very pleased to have conducted the first NDC direct integration in Asia with TIDESQUARE TOURVIS. This

partnership enables us to offer our customers more diverse and innovative travel products and services. We plan to

explore further collaborations for new services in the future.”

Special Promotion: Discounted Fares & Waived Ticketing Fees

To celebrate the NDC integration, TOURVIS is running a special promotional event until August 31. Customers can enjoy discounted fares and waived ticketing fees on all Air France and KLM routes, including destinations like Paris, which

will host the Olympics for the first time in 100 years, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Madrid. By selecting the directly

integrated fare marked with the [Airline] badge while searching for the airline on TOURVIS, customers can immediately benefit from these offers. Additionally, payments made with Samsung, Hana, Lotte, Shinhan, KB Kookmin, or KakaoPay will receive an instant discount of up to 15%. For customer convenience, no cancellation fees will be charged for tickets canceled by 11:50 PM on the day of issuance.

Notably, Air France celebrated its 40th anniversary of operations in Korea last year by introducing Boeing 777-300

aircraft with new business-class bed-type seats equipped with doors on the Incheon-Paris route. The airlines

collaborated with Michelin-starred chefs, pâtissiers, and sommeliers to provide high-quality in-flight meals and lounge catering, offering a high level of satisfaction to Korean travelers. Through this promotional event, TOURVIS expects to reduce the financial burden of purchasing airline tickets while providing customers the opportunity to experience the

diverse services of Air France-KLM.

Demonstrating technological prowess once again with the first direct integration in Korea

TOURVIS has long predicted the utility of NDC and focused on developing related technologies. As a result, TOURVIS

achieved NDC Capable Level 3 certification in 2018 (the highest level at that time, one of seven companies worldwide), and NDC Aggregator Level 4 certification in 2019 (the highest level at that time and the 13th company globally to be

certified). In May 2019, TOURVIS became the first in Korea to launch directly connected NDC content. Since then,

TOURVIS has started full-scale technological partnerships and completed NDC direct integration with a total of 11

airlines, including Lufthansa (LH), Singapore Airlines (SQ), Emirates (EK), and American Airlines (AA), becoming the

OTA with the most NDC integrations in Korea as of the first half of 2024. TOURVIS once again demonstrated its

technological capabilities by being the first in Asia to integrate with Air France-KLM.

TOURVIS CTO Seung-il Hong emphasized, "NDC is bringing revolutionary changes to airline ticket reservation and

distribution, and TOURVIS will continuously strive to provide the best values to our customers at the forefront of

these changes. This achievement is another example of how TOURVIS technology and services can create positive

mutual synergy with world-class airlines like Air France-KLM."
