BCD Travel participates in NDC FastTrack program to advance NDC and modern retailing for corporate customers

UTRECHT, The Netherlands – Nov. 12, 2025 – BCD Travel today announced it will participate in the New Distribution Capability (NDC) FastTrack program, a cross-industry initiative that brings together providers, users and technology partners to accelerate the implementation of NDC and modern retailing.

NDC FastTrack  focuses on resolving technical issues and sharing of best practices that may prevent or restrict scalable NDC adoption.

Through the program, BCD will contribute both as a user and a technology partner. With its Travel Commerce Platform and distribution expertise, BCD will seek to address technical barriers to NDC content becoming more accessible, serviceable and data-rich for corporate clients.

“BCD’s involvement in NDC FastTrack underscores our commitment to advancing adoption of NDC delivering full functionality and choice for corporate travelers,” said Thane Jackson, senior vice president of Supplier Management and Delivery at BCD. “Our clients expect content to be consistent, transparent and easy to service. That’s evidenced by our enablement of 17 airlines’ NDC across the world and clients booking up to 65% of their air bookings using NDC fares. Participation in NDC FastTrack aims to make that a reality, no matter where or how travelers book their trips.”

For corporate travel buyers, the initiative means greater confidence that new distribution models will deliver the control, visibility and travel experience they rely on today.

“We’re excited that BCD will participate in  NDC FastTrack and value their leadership across the travel value chain,” said Sam Gilliland, CEO at Accelya.  

BCD’s participation in NDC FastTrack is part of its broader modern retailing strategy, which focusses on enabling seamless, transparent access to all content sources through scalable technology and trusted partnerships.
