AirGateway and Pipeline Partner to Deliver direct NDC and Low-cost Content via Orbis Booking engine

AirGateway, an IATA NDC aggregator, is pleased to announce a strategic API partnership with Pipeline, leading provider of travel management solutions. Following Pipeline’s successful integration and certification of AirGateway’s NDC API into their B2B and B2C Orbis Booking engine, travel agencies across the Iberian Peninsula can now access direct NDC and Low-cost content, all fully synchronized with their existing Orbis Gestión administrative workflows.

Bringing Pipeline's Orbis Booking engine into our network is a relevant step in our mission to eliminate fragmentation for travel agencies and travel tech companies such as Pipeline. By combining our robust NDC aggregation infrastructure with Pipeline's localized expertise, we are enabling agencies to transition to the new distribution paradigm (NDC) under a commercial model that is more transparent, simple and therefore profitable than traditional established players of the industry

said Jorge Díaz, CEO of AirGateway. 

Key highlights of the integration include:

  • Centralized Access: Agencies can access the new NDC content through their existing Pipeline credentials, maintaining a unified workflow for B2B, B2C, and corporate setups.
  • Automated Back-Office Syncing: Bookings made via the AirGateway NDC API are automatically reflected in Orbis Gestión, ensuring seamless administrative and accounting control without manual data entry.
  • Total Cost Transparency: access to direct NDC and low-cost offers of +35 carriers, with no traditional EDIFACT/GDS surcharges, providing a clear competitive advantage in the regional market while ensuring price parity under the agency's own IATA.

This integration strengthens Orbis Booking as a growth engine for travel agencies—more content, more options, and more sales—while maintaining full control, automation, and a perfectly synchronized back office.

said Sebastián Briones, General Manager at Pipeline Software.

The value of this integration has been proven through a successful pilot program with Viajes Arribatours. 

The end-to-end flow from booking to back office significantly reduces manual work and improves our ability to compete on content and pricing.

said Saqib Hashmi, General Manager at ARRIBATOURS.

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