The Lufthansa Group has announced a significant expansion of its New Distribution Capability (NDC) content by integrating Singapore Airlines. This new update allows travel agents to seamlessly book interline journeys that combine flights from both carriers directly through Lufthansa’s NDC channels.

By adding Singapore Airlines’ “prime code” to its system, Lufthansa enables smoother connectivity for itineraries traveling between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region via Singapore. Under this arrangement, Lufthansa Group remains the fare owner and validating carrier for these bookings.

This move marks a strategic step in expanding the Group’s footprint in Asia-Pacific and follows similar successful integrations with joint venture partners Air Canada and United Airlines. In a statement, Lufthansa noted that the update underscores its continued commitment to both its global partnerships and its ongoing digital transformation through NDC.
