BTN Europe Week in Review
Episode 5: Let's talk about NDC
Show Notes

This week's podcast is hosted by BTN Europe digital editor Molly Dyson, with Daniel Tallos, travel manager EMEA at Nike, Karen Hutchings, global head of travel, meetings and events for EY, Dave Bishop, CCO at Gray Dawes Group, and Paul Tilstone, managing partner at Festive Road, talking about New Distribution Capability (NDC). It would be a mistake to think NDC has been put on the back burner during the coronavirus pandemic, as evidenced by recent announcements from Air France-KLM, Iberia and Lufthansa about their journey to providing content to agents and their clients. The panel talks about the opportunities the Covid-19 pause has created for airlines, TMCs and GDSs to make headway in the NDC arena, as well as what travel managers want to see come out of innovation in this space.
