Infrastructure for the AI Era

Unify EDIFACT, ATPCO and NDC into One Fare Brain.

Airlines are trapped between 40-year-old EDIFACT and ATPCO stacks and modern retail expectations. NDC Direct is the read-only adapter that turns legacy fares and NDC content into a single, AI-ready Unified Fare Model — with no mainframe migration.

// The live demo runs on a lightweight illustrative database that mirrors this architecture. Our full EDIFACT + ATPCO models remain private and offline.

The "Tower of Babel" Problem

EDIFACT, ATPCO and NDC all speak different dialects of “fare”. NDC Direct unifies them.

Legacy Mainframe

EDIFACT PSS, PNRGOV, Inventory

Protocol: Ancient

ATPCO Fares

Filed fares, rules, surcharges

Protocol: Legacy Records

NDC Content

Images, ancillaries, rich offers

Protocol: JSON/XML

NDC DirectUnified Fare AdapterPowered by Omnifier

AI Agents & Frontends

Search, pricing, experimentation

Protocol: Unified Fare API

Read-Only Governance

Airlines fear breaking the PSS. Our adapter uses Method Locking tokens and field-level contracts. It is architected to be read-only — no DELETE, no UPDATE, no surprises.

EDIFACT + ATPCO Aware

Beneath the demo, Omnifier can model EDIFACT PNRGOV segments and ATPCO-style fares into a single, canonical schema — preserving legacy fidelity while exposing modern JSON your teams can actually work with.

Zero Migration

Deploy the adapter as a sidecar to your existing SQL mirrors or read replicas. No mainframe rewrite, no PSS refactor — just a controlled, unified view of your fare brain.

Powered by Omnifier

NDC Direct runs on Omnifier — a hardened PHP middleware designed for air-gapped, high-security airline environments. It turns complex EDIFACT, ATPCO and NDC joins into flat, governed APIs.

Zero Dependencies: Pure, auditable PHP.
Contract Control: Hard-coded field whitelisting and method locking.
Unified Fare Model: Joins EDIFACT, ATPCO and NDC views into one consistent response layer.
