<p><strong>PALO ALTO</strong> &#8212; <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&;url=https%3A%2F%2Fnavan.com%2F&;esheet=54415949&;newsitemid=20260204906352&;lan=en-US&;anchor=Navan&;index=1&;md5=bfa24bf51fa0606c83748b49eff03289" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" shape="rect">Navan</a> , the all-in-one business travel, payments, and expense management platform, today announced an upgraded New Distribution Capability (NDC) integration with Qantas, Australia’s home carrier, using the latest version of its NDC 24.1 API. Through this upgraded access, Navan enhances its offering within the airline&#8217;s invite-only Premium NDC Program, unlocking the best available content and a seamless booking and servicing experience for travelers.</p>
<p>NDC is a modern data transmission standard that gives airlines greater flexibility to create and distribute their offers. For travelers on Navan, this translates to exclusive fares, premium services for frequent flyers, and promotions not available through legacy systems. This newer generation of the NDC API enables a move from manual to more seamless processes available through the technology investments Qantas and other airlines have made in areas like disruption handling that have been challenging to service traditionally.</p>
<p>“This direct connection with Qantas cuts through the complexity of legacy distribution,” said Dane Molter, SVP of Travel Marketplace at Navan. “The new generation of NDC APIs unlocks a superior end-to-end experience — from booking the best possible fare to managing changes with speed and efficiency. We are carving a new path for corporate travel, and this strengthened partnership with Qantas is a perfect example of our vision brought to life.”</p>
<p>This direct connection builds on the scalable architecture of <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&;url=https%3A%2F%2Fnavan.com%2Fblog%2Fbeyond-content-our-new-platform-to-power-the-next-generation-of-airline&;esheet=54415949&;newsitemid=20260204906352&;lan=en-US&;anchor=Navan%26%238217%3Bs+own+content+aggregation+platform&;index=2&;md5=a3c07803243c876b1175dd6813664e18" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" shape="rect">Navan’s own content aggregation platform</a>, developed last year to rapidly deploy the next generation of airline retailing. Navan is already seeing significant adoption by key partners like Qantas; today, 70% of all Qantas flights booked on Navan now flow through the Premium NDC program.</p>
<p>“We’re delighted to strengthen our TMC partnership with Navan through the Qantas Premium NDC program which offers great benefits for our mutual customers compared to traditional indirect booking systems,” said Ash Howell, Qantas Executive Vice President of the Americas region. “Our Qantas customers have asked for a more flexible, seamless and personalised booking experience and the new technology delivers with more fare options, more visibility for Qantas Frequent Flyers, and more opportunities for partners like Navan to earn with dynamic commission offers, more fare options, and the ability to create more tailored trips matching customers’ preferences.”</p>
