Kevin Toland Chief Executive Officer Dublin Airport Authority acknowledged the European Commission’s role in getting approval for Norwegian’s low cost long haul flights to US, a massively disruptive event on transAtlantic routes, which have traditionally been a lucrative earner for mainline carriers.
Bobby Healy, CTO Cartrawler warned that if Google end up controlling the top of the trip-planning funnel, airlines will lose out, as Google has a monopolistic strategy.

How can airlines fight back? Provide better digital products to customers. Richard Quest suggested that it is already too late for airlines to take back control.
Ian Heywood, Global Head of Product & Marketing, Air Commerce Travelport talked about the IATA NDC (New Distribution Capability) and how it was key to the future of airline API strategies. Airlines must build APIs to reach IATA NDC end target.
