Introducing Oryx Connect

Our New Distribution Capability (NDC) programme.

Qatar Airways is extending its five star experience to trade partners with the launch of our New Distribution Capability (NDC) programme, Oryx Connect.

Oryx Connect will offer next-level retailing for our joint customers. It will enable trade partners to access rich content including Fare Families and a selection of ancillary services.

How to get started with Oryx Connect

We welcome all trade partners to join Oryx Connect to benefit from full offer and order management capabilities from booking, servicing, ticketing and payment. This includes intuitive display of Qatar Airways’ Classic, Convenience, Comfort and Elite fares, helping them deliver the most suitable product offering to customers. They will also have access to variety of ancillary products and service offerings, such as select Preferred Seats and add Special Service Requests. Payment options include industry-standard settlement methods, such as ARC and BSP cash and card, and IATA EasyPay.

Our programme will offer three access options for you to harness the power of this new solution.

Oryx Direct

Interact with us via a direct connect API (Application Programming Interface), giving you access to our offers, flight availability, fares and ancillary products. This will require dedicated IT resources for the integration. In case you are interested to build a direct connect to Qatar Airways, please register your interest here and our team will contact you

Oryx Link

Connect through approved aggregators who combine NDC content from multiple airlines in their platform, These aggregators will offer you the opportunity to access our content without having to undertake extensive technical development or integration.

Qatar Airways content is already available through five approved aggregators with more to be added in the coming months. We plan to implement through the Amadeus Travel Platform in early 2022 followed by other GDSs.

If your preferred technology provider does not have access to Oryx Connect programme, please contact your Qatar Airways account manager.

The NDC Standard

New Distribution Capability (NDC) is a travel industry-supported transmission standard launched by IATA for the development and market adoption of a XML-based data transmission, that will address the limitations of the current distribution technology.

The NDC Standard enhances the capability of communications between airlines and travel agents and enables the travel industry to transform the way air products are retailed to corporations, leisure and business travelers.
