In order to ensure easy and direct
access to Emirates’ rich content and other services, the airline has launched a suite of connectivity options for its trade partners around the world. Nigeria Trade Partners amongst others, can now benefit from
this Emirates Gateway, which was developed using IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) standards, and now available on the
recently launched Emirates Partners Portal, a new state-of-the-art-online platform.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer said: “The Emirates Gateway suite of connection options has been built on new technology and is designed to address the limitations of current legacy distribution
systems. Our aim was to create a platform that empowers us to rapidly develop and deploy new products and services, thereby giving us and our trade partners the ability to offer even more value-added and differentiated services. It also prepares the way for Emirates to offer
custom content and dynamic pricing that better responds to our changing marketplace.”
Offering improved access to Emirates’ products and services with an
intuitive and easy to ease interface, the Emirates Gateway offers the
airline’s trade partners the ability to enhance travellers’ journeys
with customized products and services.
Trade partners can connect to the Emirates Gateway via three flexible
access solutions:

available in 12 languages, connected directly to Emirates’ reservation
systems that simplifies the booking, ticketing and post-ticketing
servicing of Emirates orders.
