Adventure, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo; CEO: Shunichi NAKAMURA, hereinafter referred to as the “Adventure”), powering “skyticket” (https://skyticket.com/), an air ticket reservations website, and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Hawaiian Airlines”) have entered into a distribution agreement via direct connection for “NDC” (New Distribution Capability), a new distribution standard for the sale of air tickets.

The direct NDC connection between the Hawaiian Airlines reservation system and skyticket reservation system will allow for quick confirmation of airfares and seat availability, optimal fares through the NDC connection, and ancillary services such as upgraded seat selection (charges apply) tailored to meet the needs of users. The system also enables full automation of reservations. The fully automated reservation process is expected to increase the closing rate and user satisfaction.

With the conclusion of the agreement with Hawaiian Airlines, the number of NDC direct connection agreements has reached a cumulative total of 5 airlines. Adventure, Inc. continues to actively pursue the introduction of NDC, aiming to provide all our worldwide users with more convenient and user-friendly services.
