Dubai, UAE – TPConnects Technologies today announced a major content expansion milestone for Iris, TPConnects’ air content aggregation platform for travel sellers. Iris now provides unified access to 60+ NDC and low-cost carrier (LCC) airlines, alongside integration with all four major GDS providers Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, and Abacus enabling travel sellers to access, compare, book, and service air content through one consistent workflow. Recent airline integrations include major LCC carriers like easyJet, Volotea, Transavia, Wizz Air thanks to our partnership with Kyte, as well as full-service carriers like Cathay Pacific, Turkish Airlines, Riyadh Air, ITA Airways and others.

Built for the Reality of Hybrid Distribution

As airlines embrace modern retailing through NDC and richer offers, travel sellers are operating in a hybrid distribution environment managing multiple content sources (NDC, LCC and GDS), diverse booking processes, and inconsistent servicing capabilities. While technology providers have made progress, operational complexity remains.

“Travel sellers don’t need more systems they need a unified workflow that keeps pace with modern airline retailing,” said Stephanos Kykkotis, Director of Product, Travel Seller Solutions TPConnects Technologies. “With Iris, agencies can access NDC, LCC, and GDS content in one place, operate faster with consistent servicing, and apply commercial strategy with greater control. This milestone strengthens our mission to help travel sellers succeed in a rapidly evolving distribution landscape.”

One Platform for Unified Air Content Access

Iris is designed to simplify this complexity by unifying content access, streamlining workflows, and helping travel sellers unlock new revenue streams

Iris supports travel sellers by enabling:

  • Broader airline access through a single platform, including GDS, NDC, and LCC content
  • A more consistent workflow for shopping and booking across multiple content sources
  • Greater flexibility and scalability as airline retailing and distribution models continue to evolve

Iris serves a wide range of travel sellers including TMCs, OTAs, and consolidators seeking to modernize airline content access while maintaining operational continuity.

Expanded airline content access is available to Iris customers now.

Operational Efficiency, Revenue Control, and End-to-End Servicing

Iris is designed to improve day-to-day performance for travel sellers through:

  • Operational efficiency: streamlined workflows across Shop → Order → Pay → Service, reducing system switching and repetitive tasks
  • Revenue growth through built-in commercial capabilities:
    • Pricing Engine: configurable markups on flights and ancillaries, tiered pricing for sub-agents, overrides for special opportunities, margin capping, and reporting
    • Content Control: promote preferred carriers and suppress low-margin options based on commercial strategy
    • Commission management: improved visibility and optimization across commissions (including BSP and ancillary-related earnings where applicable)
  • End-to-end servicing: support across the booking lifecycle, including exchanges/refunds workflows, disruption-related servicing, ancillary management, and PNR import to service bookings from one place
  • Flexible deployment: available via a browser-based portal (including white-label, agency hierarchy management, and unlimited users) and through a normalized API for seamless integration into seller environments
  • Future-proof technology: built to evolve with industry standards and agency needs, supporting long-term scalability and compliance
