Peakwork has launched direct New Distribution Capability (NDC) connectivity between Gulf carrier Emirates and tour operators, agents and distributors in its network.

Emirates was one of the first airline partners to join the Peakwork network around ten years ago.

The German travel distribution technology specialist has completed connectivity to the airline’s NDC API.

Emirates’ global trade partners are able to access the airline’s content and other services directly.

The Emirates Gateway enables the airline’s trade partners to enhance the traveller journeys with customised products and services.

The new integration also increases the flight portfolio in the Peakwork Leisure Travel Network.

The first European tour operators are expected to launch travel packages within weeks.

Manuel Saballus, vice president commercial at Peakwork, said: “The new NDC connectivity enriches the Peakwork flight portfolio with top-flight offers and is a great opportunity for all Peakwork tour operators.

“In times when travellers are looking for flexible travel offers and secure tour operator packages, we are proud to directly connect this major airline and offer real added value to our customers.”
