New Distribution Capability (NDC)

NDC forced GDSs to implement more modern data transmission channels to distribute ancillaries to customers.

It is based on a new, single, flexible, and standard language for all air content.

Benefits of NDC

The technology behind this distribution system is planned to generate the following benefits:

1. Encourage innovation, personalization, and brand recognition;
2. Enable further product differentiation and faster time-to-market;
3. Offer travel sellers easier access to real-time, accurate data, rich imagery,
4. Provide exciting new offers created by airlines;
5. Travelers can enjoy more services and a more personalized travel experience;
6. Offer more options for travel sellers (e.g., concert tickets, etc.). More options mean more revenue

He has been a blacksmith for over 30 years and has created weapons for over 200 films. This is Man at Arms.

"The weapons of anime are always my favorite, and I know that the fans have been asking for this for a long time. This is Elucidator from Sword Art Online." He begins by sketching the Elucidator by hand and transferring the design onto 1075 SQT steel. Using a band saw with a bimetal blade, he cuts out the heart of the sword and refines the edges with a belt sander. He marks the internal cut with a soapstone marker and uses a plasma cutter to create the symbol. Another piece, cut from 3/8 gauge carbonized steel, will cover the main section. The edges are leveled, the surface is polished, and any leftovers are trimmed with a Dynafile.
