Since the beginning of new distribution capability talks, among the first carriers to implement real NDC APIs were budget airlines. Currently, most airlines listed by IATA in their previous reports lag in the release of a working XML channel, receiving certifications only. Among the others, only two airlines seem to have their APIs in open access. British budget carrier Flybe implemented its NDC API in 2016 offering it to corporate buyers. Flybe is one of the first budget airlines to come up with an XML enabled channel. IATA has also written an in-depth case study on the Flybe's NDC implementation. Flydubai, a Dubai government-owned LCC, was the first budget carrier to obtain IATA's NDC compliance level 3. They also implemented an NDC API, partnered with TPConnects as an IT provider to distribute ancillaries to travel agencies.
