The Lufthansa Group has established a direct connection with travel content aggregator TPConnects, which will enable travel agents to avoid the airline group’s distribution cost charge. TPConnects, which is certified at the highest level under the International Air Transport Association’s New Distribution Capability standards, has integrated Lufthansa Group airlines into its B2B Travel Aggregator platform and Airline Internet Booking Engine, which will provide agents to access NDC content as real-time fares, ancillaries and promotional fares. TPConnects announced a similar connection with British Airways this summer.
