From rising fares to shifting content access and tighter contract terms, airline dynamics across global, regional, and low-cost carriers in APAC are evolving rapidly. This session will help corporate travel managers understand what to expect in 2026—covering how to manage NDC-only fares, reduce service fragmentation, and secure value beyond base discounts. A panel of experts will explain pricing trends, distribution strategies, service consistency, and negotiation techniques—so you can ask the right questions of your TMC and airline partners, and deliver a smarter, more resilient air programme, no matter the size or scope.
