Accelya is reporting a sharp rise in New Distribution Capabilities (NDC) bookings and NDC volumes distributed via Global Distribution Systems (GDS).
It says these jumped by 168% and 162% respectively, year-on-year, in the final quarter of 2025 based on data from its platform.
Accelya also says some airlines operating on its FLX NDC platform include a paid ancillary in up to one in three (31%) NDC bookings, contributing up to $12 in additional revenue per ticket.
“This reflects rising confidence among airlines, travel sellers, and corporate buyers – with momentum continuing into early 2026,” it said.
“In January 2026, Accelya recorded multiple highest-ever single-day NDC volume records across its global airline customer base, indicating sustained acceleration as the year begins.”
It also reported that data from BCD Travel shows that the TMC’s percentage growth in NDC bookings processed via Accelya-connected airlines quadrupled year-on-year “underlining how quickly adoption can accelerate once servicing, content, and operational readiness are in place”.
“These results show that NDC is moving decisively from experimentation to scale,” said Tye Radcliffe, Chief Customer Success Officer at Accelya.
“Airlines are now using NDC to deliver richer offers across corporate, agency, and direct channels, while maintaining operational stability and control. That combination is what turns modern retailing into real commercial value today and creates a credible foundation for the industry’s transition towards Offers and Orders.”
