NuFlights Expands NDC Portfolio with Airlink NDC
NuFlights achieves full NDC Level 4 integration with Airlink, Southern Africa's premier independent airline.
Wednesday, 04 February 2026 - Doha, Qatar / Johannesburg, South Africa - We are very pleased to announce the successful integration of Airlink's NDC (New Distribution Capability) content into NuFlights' NDC portfolio. The integration leverages the latest NDC Schema 21.3 and achieves full Level 4 Capability, providing travel management companies (TMCs) and travel agencies worldwide with direct access to Airlink's complete suite of offerings.
The integration delivers real-time access to Airlink's airfares, advanced seat selection, and comprehensive ancillaries across the airline's extensive Southern African network. For the 1,000+ travel agencies utilising the NuFlights ecosystem, the integration is natively synchronised with TRAACS, NuFlights' flagship Back Office and Accounting System, enabling fully automated accounting and reporting.
"NuFlights' cutting-edge NDC solutions align perfectly with Airlink's strategy to broaden our international footprint and accelerate our digital retailing capabilities," said Katherine Whelan, Airlink Chief Commercial Officer. "By partnering with a progressive technology provider based in Doha, we can enhance content accessibility for travel sellers across key global markets, strengthen cost-efficient distribution, and deliver an even more seamless booking experience. This agreement represents another important step in our journey toward modern, dynamic, and customer-centric distribution."
Through the integration, travel agents can now offer more personalised travel options, manage complex bookings with ease, and provide instant confirmation on ancillaries that were previously difficult to access through traditional channels.
"Our mission at NuFlights has always been to simplify the complex world of airline distribution for our partners," said Mohandas P Unni, CEO of NuFlights LLC. "By achieving NDC Level 4 integration with Airlink, we are not just providing more content; we are providing a complete end-to-end solution. Because our NDC flow is natively integrated with our TRAACS Back Office system, our agencies can now book Airlink's richest content while enjoying 100% automated accounting and reporting. This eliminates manual entries and significantly improves the profitability of our 1,000+ customers."
The integration is now live and available to all NuFlights and TRAACS users globally.
