Question 3

What is the difference between GDS and NDC in airline ticketing?

Accepted Answer

GDS (Global Distribution System) is the traditional airline distribution model using legacy EDIFACT messaging (e.g., Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo) where airlines distribute fares via intermediaries. NDC (New Distribution Capability) is IATA's modern XML-based standard that allows airlines to distribute richer fares, ancillaries, and offers directly through APIs. ecogo.ai's FareOS supports both GDS (Amadeus) and NDC/LCC native connections (IndiGo 6ES, Air India IXE), giving agencies access to the best fares from both models.

Question 4

How does Refund Mitra AI work?

Accepted Answer

Refund Mitra AI automatically monitors every booking cancellation across all your airline providers. When a cancellation is detected, it automatically files refund claims with the airline, tracks the claim status, and reconciles the credit back to your account — without any manual work. It achieves 95% automation, processes most claims in under 15 seconds, and recovers significant amounts monthly for travel agencies.

Accepted Answer

Vigilant Eye is an AI-powered computer vision system by ecogo.ai for workforce monitoring and site security.
