Our collaboration has been very productive for both companies, and the launch of NDC through GDS capability is another example of the great work both teams have done to improve the customer experience and increase premium revenue,” said Rastislav Martos, Senior Vice President of Revenue Management and Distribution, Aeromexico.
“Aeromexico’s primary goal is to provide its customers with the best omnichannel experience when shopping and buying our products, and this implementation will certainly help us strengthen our value-based product distribution offering.
