Retail is at the heart of all current aviation industry transformation efforts - in an increasingly digital world, airlines' future performance largely depends on how quickly they can transform their existing distribution and payment processes into a digital retailing environment.

IATA's Airline Industry Retailing (AIR) Symposium will bring industry leaders together and addressing all the key topics. Please stop by our booth #5 and join our 2e team for meaningful conversations and informative demonstrations of our digital solutions for passenger and crew in vibrant Bangkok!

This weekend 12 - 13 October 2019, 2e Systems supported Hahn Air as an API provider at the IATA AIR Hackathon in Frankfurt. Our 2e team, Product Manager Javier Martos (pictured middle left) and Software Analyst Ahmed Alsarie (middle right), attended the successful event together with Hahn Air’s Head of NDC Christopher Allison (left) and NDC Integration Manager Vicente Zepeda Cabral (right).

During the Hackathon, developers from around the world were asked to build solutions to enhance airlines’ retailing capabilities. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) initiative, called AIR - Airline Industry Retailing (NDC) is gaining more traction in the industry as airlines aim to achieve improvement of their distribution of products and services. 

The teams could pick from 2 challenges, “Carbon Offset” and “Leisure Travel”, by using at least one of the Application Programming Interfaces (API) available at the event. Hahn Air’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) APIs powered by 2e Systems was the 3rd most used API Gateway from the “NDC API” category and we are pleased that our APIs were used by the team "App in the air” who won in the category the “NDC Leisure Prize for Corporates”. Congratulations to all the winners!

2e Systems is excited to announce their latest customer signing – Hahn Air – with the launch of their new NDC platform. Hahn Air is 2e Systems’ first airline customer using the NDC solution which is based on IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard. This advanced travel retailing platform, powered by 2e Systems’ internet booking engine (eeBook), will allow Hahn Air to connect with multiple distribution partners, generate flight and ancillary offers, and provide consumers with an enhanced retailing experience. 

To celebrate the new partnership Phil Douglas, CEO of 2e Systems, Andrew Hurst, CTO at 2e Systems and Christopher Allison, Head of NDC at Hahn Air, were the first passengers holding NDC-enabled Hahn Air tickets on a flight from Luxembourg to Dusseldorf on August 16, 2019.

2e Systems will attend the Fall NACU (North American Crew Utilization) Conference from October 15-17, 2019 in Los Cabos, Mexico. The conference is focused on Crew Scheduling, Planning and Technology, and is hosted this year by Aeromexico. Please visit our 2e Systems Account Manager James Stramel in the Exhibition Area. He is  looking forward to demonstrate and discuss our Crew Scheduling and Communication product - eeCrewConnect® - and also introduce you to our cool new features.
