Flight Solutions

Flight APIS

Live flight search, fare rules, ticketing, voids and refunds across GDS, NDC and LCC content. Delivered as part of an end-to-end api integration that includes search, checkout, payments and post-booking flows.

Overview

What Flight APIS means for your business

Flight APIS sits at the intersection of supplier connectivity, distribution and the operational tools your team actually uses every day. Live flight search, fare rules, ticketing, voids and refunds across GDS, NDC and LCC content. Delivered as part of an end-to-end api integration that includes search, checkout, payments and post-booking flows.

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.

How we deliver it

How adivaha implements Flight APIS

The architecture, the integration approach and the operational model behind every production deployment.

1. Pre-integrated supplier layer

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.

2. White-label storefront & admin

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.

3. Sub-agent & markup engine

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.

4. Payments & settlement

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.

5. AI & automation

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.

6. Mobile & APIs

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.

In depth

Capabilities that compound over time

The features that look small on a demo but compound into real margin advantage when you’re running production traffic month after month.

01

Sub-second multi-supplier search

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.

02

Branded fares + Ancillaries

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.

03

Multi-PCC / Multi-IATA

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.

04

Void + Refund automation

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.

05

Ticket Time Limit alerts

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.

06

Stable REST + XML

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.

Who benefits

Built for travel teams of every size

The same platform powers solo agencies running their first online booking flow and multi-country OTAs processing thousands of transactions per day.

🏪

Mid-market host agencies

Run a B2C site and a B2B sub-agent portal from one platform. Onboard sub-agents with KYC, set commission tiers per agent, manage credit limits and view per-agent sales from a clean host-agency dashboard.

🌍

Multi-country OTAs

Multi-currency, multi-language, multi-tenant by design. Localised fares, taxes and payment methods per market with consolidated reporting at HQ. Same engine across web, mobile, agent portal and partner APIs.

🏠

DMCs & tour operators

Hotel contracting, allotments, transfer management, supplier extranet and ground operations from one suite. Distribute your DMC inventory to OTA partners through a unified XML/JSON API.

💼

Corporate travel programs

Approval workflows, travel policy enforcement, expense and invoice management, cost-centre tagging and real-time spend reporting. Built for finance, HR and operations leaders.

Gift card & loyalty brands

Branded gift store, B2B corporate gifting portal and earn-and-burn loyalty program on a single connected backbone. Plug into the same wallet your travel customers already use.

Phased delivery

Five phases from contract to compounding revenue

A clear hand-off model so your team knows exactly what happens at every phase - no surprise dependencies, no vendor-side mystery work.

  1. 01
    Phase 1 · Discovery

    We map your existing flows, supplier preferences, payment requirements and target markets. The output is a scoped delivery plan with explicit timelines, deliverables and ownership boundaries between your team and ours.

  2. 02
    Phase 2 · Provisioning

    Sandbox keys, API documentation access, supplier credential requests and payment gateway onboarding all kick off in parallel. Your engineering team can start building integrations immediately.

  3. 03
    Phase 3 · Configuration

    Branding, UI customisation, currency setup, tax rules, markup rules, agent tiers and policy enforcement get wired in. Most of the customer-visible work lands here.

  4. 04
    Phase 4 · Validation

    End-to-end testing on real supplier sandboxes, payment flow validation, edge-case handling and a controlled soft launch. We catch the issues that only show up under real traffic.

  5. 05
    Phase 5 · Live operations

    Full launch, dedicated success-manager access for 30 days, then standard support. New APIs, AI capabilities and supplier integrations land automatically as we ship them - no migration projects.

Hidden operating cost

The hidden operating cost of running travel technology yourself

Building it yourself looks cheaper on Day 1 and starts looking expensive by Quarter 3. Here’s why almost every team eventually moves to a platform.

The seductive part of building your own travel platform is that the initial scope feels containable. You need flight search, hotel search, a checkout flow and a booking confirmation page. Estimate three engineers for six months and you have an MVP. The trap is that the MVP isn’t the expensive part. The expensive part is the next eighteen months of maintaining supplier connections, handling regulatory changes, supporting refunds and cancellations across edge cases, and answering customer questions about why their voucher hasn’t arrived.

Travel-tech operations cost scales linearly with booking volume on a homegrown stack. Every new supplier is an integration project. Every regulatory change in a new market is a code release. Every booking edge case eventually becomes a finance reconciliation ticket. Your engineering team becomes a maintenance team. Your roadmap stops being about competitive features and starts being about keeping the lights on. Six quarters in, the calculation that made build-it-yourself look attractive has completely flipped.

A purpose-built platform changes the calculation by socialising those operational costs across hundreds of customers. The supplier integration we did last year benefits every customer who needs that supplier this year. The regulatory patch we shipped to handle a new tax regime applies to every customer in that market. The fraud rule we tuned based on patterns across 50 million API calls is available to every customer the day we ship it. None of that is true on a homegrown stack.

adivaha® runs the platform as a continuously improving asset on behalf of our customers. Releases land monthly. Supplier coverage grows quarterly. Compliance updates ship as soon as the regulator publishes them. Your team focuses on the parts of your business that are actually unique to your customers - brand, audience, market positioning, supplier negotiations - rather than the parts that look the same as every other travel business’s plumbing.

GTM motions

Three go-to-market motions Flight APIS supports

Which motion fits your business depends less on company size and more on how you reach travelers.

🏠

Direct-to-consumer

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.

🧑‍💼

Through agent network

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.

🔗

API to partners

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.

Trust & credentials

Backed by the certifications enterprises require

The platform sits on a foundation of independent certifications and partnership credentials - the kind that show up on procurement checklists at mid-cap and enterprise customers.

adivaha® is an Amadeus Global CAP Licence holder, the highest tier of integration partnership Amadeus offers. That gives us direct PCC provisioning rights, full API coverage including NDC, and the ability to onboard your IATA agency to fresh Amadeus content rather than waiting through a consolidator. We’re recognised as an integration partner across all the major distribution stacks - Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, Hotelbeds, Expedia and many more.

On the quality and security side, the platform is ISO 9001:2015 certified for quality management of platform development and customer delivery, follows OWASP guidelines for application-level security, and runs third-party penetration tests annually. Customer data is isolated per tenant with strong row-level security at the database. Payment data flows through PCI-compliant tokenization layers, never touching our infrastructure in raw form. Webhook payloads are HMAC-signed so receivers can verify authenticity.

On the operational side, we commit to a 99.9% monthly uptime SLA for paid plans, with credit-back guarantees on enterprise contracts. Our support response times are SLA-backed for paid plans and Slack-channel access is included for enterprise customers. The platform processes over 50 million API calls per month at sub-second median latency, with the metrics observable per API key in your dashboard.

Why pick adivaha

What makes adivaha® different

The reasons customers consistently cite when we ask why they picked us over the alternatives.

1. Travel-specific by design, not retrofitted. Generic SaaS doesn’t know what an ADM is or how a credit shell works. We’ve been building exclusively for travel for fifteen years, and the platform reflects that - ticketing, refunds, reconfirmations, supplier statements, multi-currency settlements, GST handling are all first-class concepts, not afterthoughts patched on top of an e-commerce engine.

2. Stable contracts, evolving features. Our API versions stay supported for at least 12 months after the next major version ships. Suppliers churn, regulations change, but your code keeps working. Non-breaking improvements land in your current version with release notes - no surprise upgrades, no “you must migrate by next quarter” emails.

3. One backend, every surface. The same engine across web, mobile app, agent portal and partner APIs. Same login, same wallet, same loyalty balance, same support thread. Customers move freely across surfaces and your team works in one place - no parallel inventory to maintain, no silos to bridge.

4. Live in days, not months. Most launches ship in 2-3 weeks. We’ve made the slow parts fast through repeatable templates, pre-integrated suppliers and a 24-hour sandbox provisioning policy. Speed-to-launch isn’t marketing - it’s a competitive advantage that lets you test markets, validate ideas and capture seasonal demand windows that slower competitors miss.

5. Transparent pricing, no surprises. Pricing is published on the site. Sandboxes are free. The move from sandbox to production is a permission flip rather than a contract negotiation. We don’t play games with hidden fees, surprise overage charges or per-API-call billing.
