From 01 July 2021, Emirates bookings made via GDS will incur a distribution surcharge of US$14-US$25 depending on sector length.

However, to minimise agent costs, TPConnects, an IATA NDC Dual Level 4 Certified IT Provider and Aggregator, has been certified as a technology partner for Emirates.

 

Through the TPConnects suite of solutions, on-line travel agencies (OTAs), brick-and-mortar travel agents and travel management companies (TMCs) can connect to Emirates Gateway for access to Emirates' content, differentiated products and offers, ancillaries, real-time and dynamic fares and customised services, in addition to round-the-clock travel and operational updates and future enhancements.
