Riyadh, Saudi Arabia / Kochi, India – April 03, 2026: Riyadh Air’s NDC content is now live and accessible to travel sellers globally through the Verteil NDC Aggregator platform, marking a key milestone ahead of the airline’s commercial launch. The integration enables seamless access to Riyadh Air’s modern Offer and Order retailing capabilities, allowing travel sellers worldwide to seamlessly shop, book, and manage Riyadh Air’s dynamic offers, including ancillary services and order-aware servicing, through Verteil’s Direct Connect APIs and B2B applications, which form a unified, API-driven distribution layer aligned with modern Offer and Order principles.
The integration supports Riyadh Air’s digital-first distribution strategy by providing scalable and efficient access to its NDC content across a broad ecosystem of travel sellers. As part of this strategy, Riyadh Air—being a digitally native airline—represents a new model for airline retailing, built natively on Offer and Order principles and free from traditional legacy constraints, enabling greater flexibility, control, and scalability from day one. This approach aligns closely with Verteil’s modern, API-first architecture, designed to support airlines in building flexible, future-ready distribution ecosystems without the constraints of legacy systems.
Verteil’s platform enables rapid onboarding of travel sellers while preserving the integrity and flexibility of the airline’s retailing model as it scales distribution.
“Riyadh Air is building a modern distribution ecosystem designed to support our digital-first strategy and deliver greater value to our global partners,” said Vincent Coste, Chief Commercial Officer of Riyadh Air. “As we prepare to launch operations and connect Riyadh to the world, making our NDC content available through Verteil is a key milestone in expanding our global distribution reach. Verteil’s strong travel seller network and proven NDC platform enable seamless access to our retailing capabilities, supporting our vision of delivering a flexible and customer-centric retailing experience.”
“We are proud to support Riyadh Air as it prepares to launch operations with a modern Offer and Order-based distribution strategy,” said Jerrin Jos, Founder and CEO of Verteil. “The go-live of Riyadh Air’s NDC content on the Verteil platform marks an important milestone in enabling scalable global distribution for a next-generation airline. Through Verteil’s Direct Connect APIs and B2B applications, travel sellers worldwide can seamlessly access and service Riyadh Air’s offers. Our role is to provide the distribution infrastructure needed to scale this next-generation retailing model globally.”
