NDC Level 3 for Zeeyarah

-

Zeeyarah.com becomes the first online travel agency and B2B reseller in the MENA region to receive the highest level of IATA NDC certificat­ion on PADIS Publicatio­n 16.2 Schema.

The Internatio­nal Air Transport Associatio­n (IATA) has awarded New Distributi­on Capability (NDC) Level 3 certificat­ion to zeeyarah.com, managed by Superior Tracks Travel and Tourism Agency based in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As part of NDC certificat­ion, Zeeyarah had commenced direct connection with major Middle Eastern and European carriers, Saudi Airlines being one of the pilot carriers in the region to partner NDC with zeeyarah. com. Dr Abdulaziz Khayat, Assistant Vice President— Sales Strategies, Saudi Arabian Airlines, said, “In keeping up with the new advancemen­ts in the airlines reservatio­n technologi­es, Saudia is proud to announce the successful completion of its NDC pilot project. We sincerely thank our partners at Amadeus, TPconnects and Zeeyarah.com for their excellent work and dedication throughout the implementa­tion of this project. Saudia is proud to be the first carrier in the region that secured NDC level 3 certificat­ion from IATA.”

Mohammed Gaus, CEO and Founder, Zeeyarah, commented, “This is a great achievemen­t for us to start up in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia because generally such innovative projects commence outside the Kingdom and then try to penetrate into the country. We have done the opposite by starting the project into the Kingdom and then moving out to other parts of the region with an aim to become a global brand.
