Turkish Airlines now live on AirGateway platform

AirGateway, a leading NDC aggregator, is pleased to announce its certification as an approved aggregator for Turkish Airlines' TK Connect NDC program. This certification allows AirGateway to provide travel agencies and TMCs with a seamless option for accessing Turkish Airlines' NDC fares, exclusive offers, and a broad range of ancillary products.

Through this certification, AirGateway users benefit from Turkish Airlines’ innovative NDC-based distribution channel, which provides a distinct advantage over traditional EDIFACT/GDS channels. TK Connect offers agents access to exclusive NDC-only promotional fares, a range of ancillary products (like additional baggage and seat selection), and enhanced descriptive content, not available through traditional GDS channels. Additionally, Turkish Airlines has recently introduced a $24 surcharge per ticket for bookings made via GDS EDIFACT channels; bookings made through TK Connect and other alternative distribution channels including AirGateway do not incur this surcharge.

AirGateway’s platform delivers significant advantages for agencies transitioning to NDC-based workflows by managing TK NDC content alongside 30+ full-service and low-cost carriers, all within a unified platform, improving efficiency and streamlining their operations. This consolidated interface allows seamless access to Turkish Airlines’ exclusive NDC offers alongside other major carriers in a single screen, and integrates seamlessly with agencies’ established back-office systems. Key features like remarks, traveler profile integration, and automatic booking synchronization into back-office systems ensure that agency workflows remain smooth and uninterrupted, enabling a seamless transition to NDC-based processes.

Jorge Díaz, CEO of AirGateway, said:

We are extremely thrilled to announce this new NDC partnership with Turkish Airlines after their ground-breaking announcement a few months ago pivoting towards modernisation of their distribution technology and strategy. AirGateway has completed the integration and certification in less than 3 months, proving our commitment to always keeping up with the global industry transformation towards NDC which is enabling airlines to evolve to modern retailing.
