PRESS RELEASE
FCM Travel Announces Participation in NDC FastTrack
New York, NY (November 13, 2025) – FCM Travel, the flagship large-market business travel division of Flight Centre Travel Group, today announced participation in NDC FastTrack, a cross-industry enablement initiative designed to accelerate practical adoption of IATA’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) for corporate travel.
NDC FastTrack is an open, industry-wide initiative that brings together providers, users and technology partners. The program focuses on real-world adoption by identifying best practices and technical issues which may be preventing the adoption of NDC. It debuted earlier this July at GBTA’s annual convention in Denver.
FCM Travel has long been at the forefront of NDC adoption, with a proven ability to adapt to the evolving needs of the industry. Through its participation in NDC FastTrack, the company will take an exciting next step toward expanding and refining its NDC content capabilities, building on years of progress with leading technology providers, such as SAP Concur, Sabre, and Amadeus.
As the business travel landscape continues to shift, we recognize the value of community and the importance of a shared vision across the travel ecosystem,” said John Morhous, Global Chief Experience Officer, FCM Travel. “The NDC FastTrack program will do just that – helping to foster collaboration and offering us the opportunity to work more closely with participating NDC providers and other technology partners.”
Morhous added, “As NDC becomes the new standard in airline retailing, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering value to our clients. Our goal is to enhance NDC content strategically – faster, more practically, and at scale.
With the program now underway, FCM Travel will participate in upcoming technical sessions and forums, expected to roll out in the months ahead. In addition, FCM Travel customers will have a stronger voice in shaping NDC adoption through the newly launched Business Travel Innovation Group (BIG) – a forum dedicated to aligning solutions with the needs of managed travel programs.
“We’re delighted that FCM Travel will participate in the NDC FastTrack program. FCM’s track record in corporate travel innovation and its strong technology partnerships make it a valuable addition to the initiative,” said Tye Radcliffe, Chief Customer Success Officer of Accelya.
