Amadeus NDC normalizes NDC-sourced airline content into travel-seller search, booking and servicing workflows. The critical boundary is preserving content source and servicing capability through normalization.

Source-aware model

text
Search
 -> EDIFACT/GDS offer
 -> NDC offer
 -> normalized display
 -> selected source-aware offer
 -> booking/order
 -> servicing

The same itinerary can arrive from multiple sources. Preserve source lineage after deduplication.

Capability matrix

Track per carrier:

  • shopping,
  • branded fares,
  • baggage,
  • seats/ancillaries,
  • booking,
  • ticketing/fulfillment,
  • exchange,
  • refund,
  • voluntary/involuntary changes.

Offer/Order boundary

NDC Offers are ephemeral. Provider/order references become separate state after booking. Do not use Offer ID as long-lived booking identity.

Failure modes

  • lost NDC/GDS source,
  • assuming servicing parity,
  • stale offer,
  • entitlement gaps,
  • unknown booking/order outcomes.

Observability

Track NDC/GDS content mix, carrier response coverage, offer age, revalidation changes, unknown-order rate and servicing failures.

Checklist

  • carrier/source capability matrix exists
  • source lineage preserved
  • offer expiry modeled
  • UNKNOWN recovery implemented
  • GDS/NDC servicing tested separately
