Finnair NDC capabilities

Page latest updated:

In NDC, travel agent end-to-end flow is divided into 2 parts:

  • Offer management that includes travel agent processes from searching for Offers (flights + ancillaries) to creating an Order, which is equivalent to Booking/ PNR.
  • Order management that includes travel agent processes that take place after Order/ Booking/ PNR has been created.

Finnair NDC API is continuously developing solution, find detailed capability list on Finnair NDC portal https://ndc.finnair.com/en/capabilities
