Connecting, Collaborating, and Building the Future of NDC: Verteil at AFKL NDC Day 2025
On June 3rd, 2025, Verteil Technologies had the privilege of participating in Air France–KLM’s NDC Day 2025, hosted at their headquarters in Roissy CDG, France. This highly anticipated event brought together global travel sellers, airline partners, and distribution leaders to explore the next chapter in NDC-based airline retailing.
Verteil was represented by our Co-Founders — Jerrin Jos (Founder & CEO) and Satheesh Satchit (Co-Founder & CPO) — who joined industry peers for a full day of insightful interactions, collaborative sessions, and meaningful networking. The event was led by Stefan Vanovermeir, Vice President Distribution at Air France–KLM, and featured a deep dive into AFKL’s evolving NDC strategy.
Adding to the significance of the event, Angus Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer of Air France-KLM, addressed the audience. His session provided valuable insights into Air France-KLM’s evolving strategies and the role NDC is playing in shaping the future of airline retailing. Clarke’s remarks further reinforced the group’s commitment to innovation, transparency, and stronger collaboration with industry partners across the distribution value chain.
A Day of Perspective-Sharing and Industry Alignment
For Verteil, AFKL’s NDC Day offered a valuable opportunity not just to get updates on the airline group’s latest developments in NDC content, but also to share our perspectives as a global aggregator and technology partner actively enabling modern airline retailing.
Jerrin and Satheesh engaged in one-on-one interactions with key stakeholders from across the global travel ecosystem — from OTAs and TMCs to Air France-KLM’s leaders — exchanging insights on how to streamline distribution further, unlock the full potential of NDC, and improve the end-customer experience.
The discussions highlighted how far the industry has come, but also how much more is possible when airlines and technology providers work closely to remove friction and deliver rich, real-time, personalized content.
Strengthening Global Partnerships
As one of the earliest IATA NDC-certified aggregators, Verteil has been at the forefront of driving Offer and Order transformation. Events like AFKL NDC Day are not only crucial in staying aligned with the direction of leading carriers like Air France and KLM — they are also a powerful reminder of how collaborative innovation can truly elevate the retailing experience.
The Verteil team came away from the event energized and aligned, having strengthened relationships with both the AFKL distribution team and other global players who share our commitment to scalable, impactful retailing.
Looking Ahead: NDC That Works, At Scale
At Verteil, we continue to expand access to modern airline retailing for travel sellers in multiple countries, with real-time NDC integrations from 50+ global airlines. The insights and connections gained at AFKL NDC Day will directly inform how we support travel sellers worldwide and help our partner airlines grow their NDC adoption effectively.
We extend our thanks to the AFKL team for the warm hospitality, transparent conversations, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the day’s dialogue.
