Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines Expand NDC Partnership

Lufthansa Group is advancing its digital retailing strategy by expanding New Distribution Capability (NDC) content in Singapore, in partnership with Singapore Airlines. Starting September 1, 2025, key Economy Class fares will be available exclusively through NDC and direct channels for flights originating in Singapore.

 

The move affects booking classes K, L, T, and S, and includes all Lufthansa Group-operated flights from Singapore to its core markets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium. This mirrors a similar approach adopted by Singapore Airlines and marks a deepening of the joint venture between the two carriers.

“This step reflects our commitment to innovation and transparency,” said Gilles Burgat, Lufthansa Group General Manager for Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei. “We’re offering more content, greater choice, and enhanced personalization for our customers in Singapore.”

Recognized by IATA for having the most advanced NDC API in the airline industry, Lufthansa Group continues to lead in transforming global airline distribution. The group sees NDC as a cornerstone of its 2025 distribution strategy and a way to deliver richer content and better value to corporate clients, travel agencies, and individual travelers.

This strategic update reinforces the Lufthansa Group’s commitment to modernizing air travel retail in the Asia Pacific region, while strengthening its cross-market alignment with Singapore Airlines.
