Real-time search, fares, availability, booking and ticketing for travel portals, OTAs and agency platforms - via one consistent API across Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport and LCC partners.
Flight Booking API with live airline inventory sits at the intersection of supplier connectivity, distribution and the operational tools your team actually uses every day. Real-time search, fares, availability, booking and ticketing for travel portals, OTAs and agency platforms - via one consistent API across Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport and LCC partners.
adivaha® powers more than 2,400 travel brands across 120+ countries, with engineering teams in India and Europe and 200+ pre-integrated supplier connections. We are an Amadeus Global CAP Licence holder and ISO 9001:2015 certified. The platform you read about on this page sits inside the same connected core that powers booking engines, agent portals, mobile apps, gift cards, loyalty programs and AI automations across every product line we ship.
Live flight search, fare rules, ticketing, voids and refunds across GDS, NDC and LCC content. Whether you sell direct to consumers, run a B2B sub-agent network or distribute to OTA partners through APIs, this product slots into the same booking, payments, fulfilment and reporting stack that powers every other adivaha customer.
Documented REST and XML APIs with sandbox keys, SDKs for PHP, Node, Python, Go and .NET, and per-key observability. The platform is built for the operational reality of travel - cancellations, refunds, credit shells, supplier reconfirmations, multi-currency settlement, GST on commission vs principal sales, ADM/ACM handling - all of it modelled as first-class concepts rather than afterthoughts. That’s the difference between travel-tech that scales and a generic SaaS product retrofitted for travel.
Most adivaha® customers go from contract to first production booking in 2-3 weeks. The path is short because the hard parts are already done: supplier credentials are pre-provisioned, the booking flow is tested end-to-end, payment gateways are integrated, and the white-label theming sits behind a config flag. Your team focuses on the parts that are actually unique to your business - brand, audience, market positioning, supplier contracts - instead of rebuilding a booking engine from scratch.
Beyond the speed-to-launch advantage, customers stay on adivaha® because the platform compounds. Every supplier we add, every payment rail we wire in, every AI capability we ship lands automatically for everyone on the platform - not as a paid upgrade, not behind an enterprise tier. The roadmap moves the entire customer base forward together. That’s how a small agency in 2023 ends up with the same supplier coverage as a multi-country OTA in 2026 without ever touching the integration code themselves.
The architecture, the integration approach and the operational model behind every production deployment.
A 200+ supplier pool sits behind a single, normalised contract. Search results stream back from parallel calls so users see partial results immediately rather than waiting for the slowest provider. When a supplier ships a breaking change - an NDC update, a rate-plan reorganisation, a deprecated endpoint - we absorb it in our adapter layer so your code never has to.
Your domain, logo, colours and store-listing copy are wired in by our delivery team. The white-label storefront ships in 2-3 weeks for most customers. Custom UI work or unusual payment requirements may extend the timeline, but we’ll be upfront about exactly what changes the schedule.
Run a customer-facing site and a B2B agent portal from one platform with role-based access, separate fare displays for retail and trade, KYC for sub-agents, commission tiers and credit-shell management. Markups apply per supplier, per product, per agent, per market - with stacking rules and override priority.
Cards, UPI, wallets, BNPL and FX flow through the same checkout. adivaha Pay reconciles transactions automatically against bookings; one escrow covers every supplier so the customer payment, your markup and the supplier cost are tracked in a single ledger. UPI integration ships out of the box for Indian markets.
Conversational booking assistants, support auto-resolution, invoice generation and anomaly alerts run on top of adivaha AI. Every AI action that touches money, contracts or customers waits for human sign-off, and every action is logged with full audit trail. PII is redacted at the edge before reaching any LLM.
Native mobile apps on iOS and Android share the same backend. Public REST APIs expose everything the storefront uses, with OpenAPI 3.1 specs, Postman collections, SDKs in five languages and HMAC-signed webhooks for booking and refund events.
The features that look small on a demo but compound into real margin advantage when you’re running production traffic month after month.
Parallel calls to GDS, NDC and LCC suppliers, with results merged in under one second.
Why it matters: Without this you’d be paying engineering or operations cost every month to do the same work manually - a hidden tax that grows with your booking volume. The platform absorbs that cost so your team doesn’t have to.
Fare families, seat selection, baggage, meals and lounges in the same checkout flow.
Why it matters: This is the kind of feature most platforms charge as an enterprise add-on. It ships standard with adivaha® because it’s how a real travel business actually operates.
Route bookings to the cheapest PCC per market or supplier.
Why it matters: Customers who lean on this consistently outperform peers on conversion, supplier mix and reconciliation accuracy. The compounding shows up in margin within a quarter or two.
Issue, void and refund tickets within fare-rule windows from the same admin.
Why it matters: It’s built around an open contract, so you can extend it without waiting for a vendor release cycle. When your business shifts, the platform shifts with you.
Automated alerts before TTL expiry to prevent stranded PNRs.
Why it matters: The audit trail and rollback story make it safe to use even on money-affecting flows. Compliance teams love it; finance teams stop double-checking exports.
Versioned REST endpoints plus legacy XML where suppliers require it.
Why it matters: It scales linearly with traffic - no surprise re-architecture when you 10x volume. The same API call that works at 100 RPS works at 1000 RPS.
The most common goals customers hit in the first 90 days after going live - one platform, six measurable outcomes.
Most customers process their first revenue-bearing booking within 2-3 weeks of contract signing. Pre-integrated suppliers and a 24-hour sandbox provisioning policy compress the timeline.
Sub-second median latency on multi-supplier search results means fewer abandoned carts. Smart caching keeps repeated queries fast, idempotent confirmations prevent duplicate-charge errors.
Auto-vouchering, supplier reconfirmations, refund handling and reconciliation against payment gateway statements run automatically. Operations cost stops scaling linearly with booking volume.
When inventory from one supplier underperforms, the platform routes more searches to the others. Smart routing surfaces in your margin within the first quarter.
Multi-currency, multi-language and multi-tax-regime support means a new market launch is a config change, not a re-platform. Many customers expand to 3+ countries within their first year.
AI-assisted support automation handles tier-1 tickets and routes the rest with full booking context to your team. Average resolution time drops; agent-per-ticket cost drops with it.
Most launches follow this exact rhythm. Use it to plan internal communications, marketing campaigns and team capacity around your launch date.
Contract signed, kickoff call scheduled, your dedicated success manager and a delivery engineer are assigned. You’ll have everyone’s direct contact details before the day ends.
Sandbox keys live within 24 hours of kickoff. Branding assets, supplier credentials and payment gateway details collected. Your team begins integration work in parallel with our delivery work.
White-label storefront branded and themed. Suppliers wired in and tested in sandbox. Payment gateway connected. Markup rules and agent tiers configured. The portal looks and behaves like yours.
UAT runs on a near-production environment with real supplier sandboxes. Soft launch to a controlled audience or a small set of sub-agents. Full launch follows once the soft-launch metrics look right.
Production support handover, monitoring dashboards live, success manager checks in weekly for the first month. Layer on AI, mobile apps and additional APIs as your traffic grows.
Every airline, hotel chain, bedbank and aggregator has its own contract format, response shape and breaking-change cadence. That’s a problem you don’t want to solve twice.
Travel distribution is one of the most fragmented technical landscapes in commerce. There are dozens of GDS systems, hundreds of NDC-enabled airlines, thousands of hotel bedbanks and direct-connect partners, and each one ships its own data shape, error envelope and authentication model. Building against any single one is manageable. Building against twenty of them in parallel, while keeping a normalised search response on your storefront, becomes a continuous engineering burden.
And the burden never ends. Suppliers ship breaking changes regularly. Rate-plan structures get reorganised. Endpoints get deprecated. Authentication schemes migrate. Each change requires a coordinated update across your search, hold, ticketing, voucher and reconciliation flows. Without a dedicated team, this work piles up as silent technical debt - visible only when a supplier outage causes a missed conversion or a refund miscalculation triggers a customer dispute.
The cost compounds in another way too. Even when individual supplier integrations work, the user-facing experience suffers when each supplier returns slightly different room categories, slightly different cancellation policies, slightly different fare-rule wording. Customers get confused. Conversion drops. Support tickets pile up. Your team spends time normalising data across suppliers instead of building features that actually move revenue.
adivaha® absorbs the supplier fragmentation problem at the platform level. Every integration sits behind a unified contract with normalised room types, cancellation rules, fare families and error envelopes. When a supplier ships a breaking change, our adapter layer handles it - your code never breaks. When a new supplier becomes available, all our customers get access on the same day. This is what fifteen years of focused engineering on the supplier-abstraction problem looks like in production.
Which motion fits your business depends less on company size and more on how you reach travelers.
Branded storefront on your own domain selling direct to travelers. Marketing-driven traffic, paid acquisition funnels, loyalty programs to drive repeat. Most B2C OTAs run this motion.
You hold the supplier relationships and inventory; sub-agents resell under your brand or theirs. KYC onboarding, credit limits, commission tiers, per-agent reporting all built in.
You aggregate supplier content and re-distribute via API to OTA partners and travel apps. Webhooks, OpenAPI spec, SDKs in five languages. Same backend powers your direct site and partner connections.
Most established travel businesses end up running two or three of these motions in parallel. The platform supports that out of the box - same supplier pool, same admin, same reconciliation, but with separate fare displays, separate branding and separate access control per motion. You don’t have to pick one path on Day 1.
Direct partnerships with the GDS systems, hotel bedbanks and payment networks that handle the majority of travel transactions globally.
Our partnership network is the foundation of the platform. We hold an Amadeus Global CAP Licence with direct PCC provisioning, are recognised as an integration partner with Sabre and Travelport, and ship pre-integrated connections to Hotelbeds, Expedia, Agoda, RateHawk, GRN, Bridgify and dozens more bedbanks. Customers benefit from these relationships from Day 1 - no separate supplier negotiations, no waiting in line for credentials.
On the quality side, the platform carries an ISO 9001:2015 certification covering both platform development and customer delivery processes. Application security follows OWASP standards with annual third-party penetration testing. Payment processing flows through PCI-compliant tokenisation. Webhook payloads carry HMAC signatures. SSO and granular role-based access control are available on enterprise plans.
Operationally we commit to a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA for paid plans, with credit-back guarantees on enterprise contracts and Slack-channel access for direct support. The platform processes 50 million+ API calls per month at sub-second median latency, with per-key observability surfaced in every customer’s dashboard. None of these credentials are unusual by enterprise SaaS standards - but they’re relatively rare in travel-tech, and that’s exactly the point.
The platform-level choices that look small at evaluation time and pay back over years of running production traffic.
1. A normalised search response across every supplier. Whether the result comes from Amadeus, Sabre, an LCC partner or a hotel bedbank, your storefront sees the same shape. No supplier-specific code paths in your app, no edge cases you discover only when a new supplier ships a different format.
2. Idempotent booking confirmations from Day 1. Double-clicks, network retries and webhook redelivery never create duplicate tickets. Booking IDs are deterministic on the server. Your reconciliation always matches your customer-facing confirmations - even when something glitches mid-transaction.
3. Audit logs on every change, attributable to a user or token. Compliance teams stop asking for special exports. Disputes get resolved with the actual record of what happened. The audit log is part of the platform, not a paid add-on bolted on for enterprise customers.
4. Webhook delivery with retries, signatures and dead-letter queue. When your endpoint goes down, our retries don’t lose events. When you finally come back online, we replay the queue. HMAC signatures let you verify every payload is genuine before processing.
5. Sandbox identical to production at the code level. Not a stripped-down preview environment. Same code, same logic, same edge-case behaviour - only with test supplier credentials and isolated payment routing. What you build in sandbox works in production unchanged.
Flights are the entry product for most travel customers. They search flights first, then add hotels, transfers and activities. If your flight search is slow, your fare display is confusing or your booking flow drops conversions, every other product suffers.
adivaha® Flight Booking API delivers the foundation: sub-second search across multiple GDSes and LCCs, normalised fare display, full PNR / ticketing / void / refund automation, and deep observability so you can tune for performance and conversion.
Sub-second multi-supplier search across GDS and LCC inventory.
Modern NDC fares + traditional GDS fares in the same response, ranked by price.
Display fare brands (Economy Light, Standard, Flex) with included ancillaries.
Route searches to optimal PCC for best fares per market.
Seats, baggage, meals, lounges and insurance up-sell at checkout.
Full PNR management with ticket issue, void, refund and exchange flows.
The same API powers boutique agencies and high-traffic OTAs. Pricing scales with volume; the platform scales horizontally to 50M+ calls per month.
GDS + NDC + LCC content all in one response.
A modern Flight Booking API has to do many things simultaneously: aggregate inventory from multiple sources (Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, NDC-certified airlines, LCC direct connects), normalise the responses into a single consistent format, rank options by total customer value, handle the booking workflow including ticketing, manage post-booking events like schedule changes and refunds, and do all of this with sub-second latency. The architecture required to deliver this is significantly more complex than most teams realise when they first start building.
The search layer is where most teams stumble. A naive search implementation makes parallel calls to all integrated suppliers and waits for the slowest response - which on a bad day might be 8-10 seconds for a complex international itinerary. Production-grade flight APIs use intelligent caching (results from popular routes are cached for 5-30 minutes depending on volatility), partial-response display (show fastest results immediately, append slower ones), supplier-quality ranking (skip suppliers with high error rates) and pre-warming (predict popular searches and cache proactively). adivaha's search layer typically responds in 800ms-2s for most queries despite calling 5-8 suppliers per search.
The booking workflow is where complexity multiplies. A flight booking isn't just "click confirm and ticket" - it's a multi-step state machine: customer locks the fare (typically 5-10 minute hold), passenger details captured, payment authorised, ticket issued (may take 5-30 seconds for ticketing systems to confirm), confirmation sent. At any step, things can go wrong: fare expires during checkout, payment declines, ticketing fails because of inventory race conditions, GDS times out during ticket issue. A robust API must handle all these edge cases with proper rollback logic, retry strategies and customer messaging.
Post-booking operations are where amateur flight APIs really break down. Schedule changes happen constantly - airlines change flight times, route, equipment, even cancel flights. The API must detect these changes via PNR-monitoring (queue messages from GDS), evaluate impact (does the change affect customer's connection? does it require re-ticketing? does it qualify for free rebooking under airline rules?) and trigger customer-friendly resolution flows. Refund handling is similarly complex - some fares are non-refundable (process as void if before ticket-issue), some allow partial refund minus penalty (calculate per fare-rules), some require manual airline approval. Production APIs codify all this logic; amateur APIs make customer support firefight every case.
For OTAs and agencies considering whether to build their own flight API or use a managed one, the math is clear. Building a production-grade flight API takes 18-30 months and $2M-$5M in engineering investment, plus ongoing maintenance to keep up with GDS, NDC and LCC changes. Using adivaha's Flight API costs orders of magnitude less and gets you live in 1-3 weeks. Unless flight-API depth is your core competitive advantage (which it usually isn't - your competitive advantage is your customer experience and brand), buying beats building.
NDC adoption has progressed in fits and starts since IATA launched the standard in 2015. As of 2026, the major NDC-certified airlines include Lufthansa Group (LH, LX, OS, EW), Air France-KLM, British Airways, Iberia, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Cathay Pacific, American Airlines, United Airlines, Air Canada, Qantas, Air New Zealand, Turkish Airlines and several others. Coverage varies dramatically by region - European carriers lead, Middle East follows, North American adoption is uneven, Asian adoption is growing.
For agencies, NDC offers tangible benefits when used properly. Branded fares (Light/Standard/Flex) with explicit ancillary inclusion are clearer for customers than legacy GDS fare-rules walls. Dynamic offers - personalised fares based on customer profile, search context and inventory state - sometimes deliver 5-15% discount vs equivalent GDS fares. Continuous pricing (real-time price adjustments) means the fare displayed at search is what books, removing the "fare-changed-during-checkout" frustration that plagues legacy GDS bookings.
But NDC also has rough edges. Different airlines implement NDC slightly differently, creating per-airline integration work. Refund and exchange flows are still maturing - some airlines' NDC refund APIs are unreliable. Group bookings via NDC are limited at most carriers. Settlement remains via traditional BSP for most NDC bookings, which means BSP-period rules still apply. adivaha's integration handles these edges so your application sees a consistent NDC + GDS unified view.
