Citing “significant confusion” among travel advisors, ACTA is hosting two webinars – one with Air Canada and one with Amadeus – to help explain the impact of Air Canada’s New Distribution Technology (NDC).

“ACTA will be having a number of webinars over the next several months with our airline and GDS partners to help increase knowledge and clear up any confusion,” says ACTA president Wendy Paradis.

The first of the webinars will take place on June 29, with travel agencies and advisors invited join sessions conducted with Air Canada in English or French.

A second NDC webinar is scheduled with Amadeus on June 28.

Non- ACTA members are asked to consider joining ACTA, or to make a donation to the ACTA Advocacy Fund.

The two seminars are as follows:

June 19: Air Canada – An Introduction to NDC – New Distribution Capabilities
