AirGateway
AirGateway is a specialist NDC aggregator that helps travel agencies and OTAs transition from legacy GDS-based booking to modern NDC (New Distribution Capability) connections without building individual airline integrations. While companies like Duffel also operate in this space, AirGateway focuses specifically on the agency migration journey — providing tools and APIs that work alongside existing GDS workflows rather than replacing them entirely.
Overview
AirGateway is a specialist NDC aggregator that helps travel agencies and OTAs transition from legacy GDS-based booking to modern NDC (New Distribution Capability) connections without building individual airline integrations. While companies like Duffel also operate in this space, AirGateway focuses specifically on the agency migration journey — providing tools and APIs that work alongside existing GDS workflows rather than replacing them entirely.
The platform supports IATA NDC Level 4 certified connections to major carriers including Lufthansa Group, IAG (British Airways, Iberia), Air France-KLM, Finnair, and others. Agencies can access richer airline content — ancillary services, branded fare families, and seat selection — that is often unavailable through the GDS.
