Next Generation Storefront

Build the retailing standards to revolutionize flight shopping

Compete in tomorrow's marketplace

The Next Generation Storefront (NGS) is a set of data standards that enable distribution channels to better present, sort, and find the airline products and services consumers are looking for. 

ATPCO and partners from every perspective are creating standards so consumers can clearly understand their diverse options in all sales channels—making them happier travelers and transforming them into loyal customers.

Compare shopping choices

Compare like products from multiple airlines through standardized data that describes services and delivers a framework for creating comparable products and attributes.

Shop by attributes

Search for offers by product quality, content, and capability—not just price—through data and processes that allow systems to group product attributes.

Display complete offers

Present all the relevant data for an offer so consumers know what they’re purchasing.

Simplify and enhance flight shopping

In our NGS Working and Advisory Groups, we are looking for diverse industry players who can ensure that the standard we deliver both reflects how all airlines wish to present their products and also empowers channels to easily integrate that content in a consistent and simple way.
