My prediction: NDC will survive. NDC XML Schemas will not.

My bet is that the next generation of airline connectivity will be based on open, JSON-driven capability frameworks such as MCP, serving both traditional systems and AI agents alike.

The idea remains. The technology evolves.

NDC as a concept will survive. NDC as a collection of XML schemas probably will not. The true innovation of NDC was never XML. The real innovation was the ability for airlines to distribute products

The story of oops.solution started with a simple idea: modern airline retailing should help airlines move forward instead of slowing them down.

We have spent many years in the airline industry, developing reservation systems, ticketing, distribution, integrations, and retailing. Over time, we saw how difficult it became for airlines to modernize while still depending on older processes and technologies that could not simply disappear overnight.

After all these years in the airline industry, one thing hasn’t changed: I’m still learning. This time, it’s AI.

Over the past years with oops.solution, we’ve spent a lot of time getting the fundamentals right: connecting product, pricing, offers, and orders in a way that actually works in the real world.
Now that this foundation is there, the next step becomes obvious.
How do we make the whole system smarter?
That’s where our AI approach comes in, embedding intelligence across the full lifecycle, from product, pricing, offers, and orders all the way through to operations and fulfillment, so the platform can continuously learn, optimize, and act.

In oops.solution, AI is not confined to a single function such as pricing or offer optimization. Instead, it is embedded as a foundational intelligence layer across the entire airline platform, connecting all domains, from product

Connecting legacy PSS environments with modern Offer & Order (OOSD) retailing is one of the most complex challenges in airline IT. It requires more than vision; it demands deep operational experience across both worlds.

We have spent years designing and implementing integrations across PSS, GDS and external systems; from dynamic pricing platforms like PROS RTDP, to codeshare and interline messaging, to generating IATA-compliant e-tickets from Orders. Our work includes transforming legacy AIRIMP and EDIFACT messages into modern JSON-based documents and building the first fully cloud-based interline e-ticket platform and messaging gateway.

Based on this experience, we enable airlines to bridge legacy systems and modern retailing through intelligent, dynamic middleware, or even replace missing legacy capabilities entirely, allowing seamless connectivity to third-party systems using standard industry protocols.

Over the years, we’ve been involved in one of the most complex challenges in airline IT: connecting legacy PSS environments with modern Offer & Order (OOSD) retailing and external ecosystems. This is not a theoretical

T2RL has recently published an insight analysis of our oops.solution product, a platform designed to support modern Offer and Order–based airline retailing.

The article highlights the role of next-generation commercial platforms in enabling airlines to transition from legacy PNR- and ticket-based systems to a more flexible Offer-Order architecture, while retaining full backward compatibility. This approach supports the industry’s broader move toward modern airline retailing.

We appreciate the recognition from T2RL, one of the most respected and independent industry consultancy, and remain committed to supporting airlines with technology that enables more agile retailing, distribution, and passenger servicing capabilities.
