AirGateway and CROSS partner to bring NDC and LCC to Prometeus Platform

AirGateway, the leading NDC aggregator, has announced a strategic partnership with Sistemas de Información Cross (CROSS), a comprehensive travel technology provider for Tour Operators and Retail Travel Agencies. This integration brings direct NDC and LCC content from 35+ airlines into the Prometeus ecosystem, creating a seamless environment that handles everything from initial sales to back-office for final reporting.

The integration ensures that the direct NDC and Low-cost content aggregated by AirGateway—including special (Tour Operator) fares—is fully operational across the entire CROSS product suite:

  • Surcharge-Free NDC & LCC Content via PROMETEUS: Agencies gain a significant commercial edge by accessing direct NDC content, which is delivered without GDS surcharges, allowing agencies to offer more competitive pricing via B2B and B2C channels.
  • Total Synchronization: Airline distribution is not just about sales, but also about administration. Any NDC or LCC booking made via Prometeus (website or booking engines) is automatically imported into the management software, ensuring that inventory and accounting are always aligned.
  • Management for Tour Operators: For wholesalers and tour operators, the integration automates the inclusion of direct NDC content into complex travel packages, making it available for combination with multiple travel products (flights, hotels, trains, insurance).

At CROSS, our mission is to ensure that technology works for the agency and not the other way around,

says Gabriel Aparicio, CEO of Sistemas de Información Cross (CROSS).

The integration with AirGateway allows our users to access the new generation of NDC content transparently and efficiently. By unifying this direct content within our Prometeus ecosystem, we enhance our management and back-office tools to provide travel professionals with the competitive advantage and end-to-end automation they need to lead in today's market.

Jorge Díaz, CEO of AirGateway added:

The integration with Sistemas de Información Cross (CROSS) is a significant step forward in making NDC truly 'plug-and-play' for travel professionals. By feeding our direct NDC and LCC content—which carries no GDS surcharges—into a system that handles both the front-end sale and the back-end reporting, we are enabling agencies to maximize their profitability while automating the most complex parts of their business.

The integration is available immediately for all AirGateway and Cross customers. For more information on how to activate this content, please contact sales@airgateway.com | aparicio@crossinf.com.

About Sistemas de Información Cross

CROSS is an all-in-one technological solution designed to transform the management and commercialization of tourism companies. Its activity is defined by these three pillars:

  • Intelligent Omnichannel Sales: Through the Prometeus platform, CROSS allows agencies to manage and sell their own products directly on their website. It is an omnichannel tool serving both end customers (B2C) and collaborating agencies (B2B), while also facilitating pre-sales through personalized quotes that can be converted into firm bookings as needed.
  • Specialized Management (Wholesale & Retail):
    • Tour Operators: An independent system to automate wholesale operations, managing complex rates, allotments, groups, and conventions.
    • Retail Agencies: Software focused on file creation and automated invoicing. It integrates AI to correctly apply special VAT regimes, eliminating fiscal complexity for the agent.
  • Connectivity Hub and Custom Development: The system acts as a global connector that allows the import of external products (flights, hotels, trains, insurance) to redistribute them from a single real-time inventory. Additionally, CROSS offers total flexibility: if a client requires a specific provider that is not yet connected, the system develops a custom integration to include it in their offering.
