Today’s travelers are increasingly using a variety of platforms and providers to shop, buy and service their air travel. ARC believes the future of air travel retailing is a “buy anywhere, service anywhere” omnichannel ecosystem rather than today’s channel-exclusive environments. Through its products, solutions, services and investments, ARC connects airlines, travel agencies, travel managers and travelers across channels to create a more seamless, transparent and inclusive retailing environment.
An industry-owned technology partner for the global air travel community, ARC proactively seeks opportunities to make strategic investments that support the evolving needs of its stakeholders. These investments help ARC deliver robust products and services to its partners faster — and at scale. ARC's investments accelerate development and retain industry ownership of critical systems and technology.
As a premier industry technology provider, nuTravel develops applications that provide airlines with online retailing solutions with enhanced features to support travel agency services. nuTravel is an independent subsidiary of ARC, focusing on innovation and delivery excellence for airlines serving corporate travelers.
The travel journey is complex, and it is becoming increasingly personalized. It begins with a spark of inspiration, spans the entirety of trip planning and continues through the trip itself.
See how the travel industry can create a more seamless, integrated travel journey, from beginning to end.
