Direct-to-Traveler NDC Connecting Airlines and Travelers

Bypass Constraints

What we do

D2T NDC

 

 

Our approach is built on a single, powerful shift: moving NDC infrastructure from a back-end B2B protocol to a front-end traveler experience.

 

We don’t reinvent the wheel; we activate existing technology for a new era of direct retail.

Capture demand outside your App

The reality: travelers search where they find choice, not where airlines want them to start. 

The opportunity: meet them there, then seamlessly hand them to your direct channel for booking.

Nuanced bridges that gap. Travelers get the neutral search they trust. You get the direct relationship you need.

Keep full control

Airline retain full control from the start: pricing, offer construction, branding, checkout, and the customer relationship remain native to the airline throughout the journey.

Improve offer quality

Nuanced enhances offer quality by capturing traveler intent and context upfront, allowing airlines to deliver more relevant, personalized NDC offers.

The Nuanced Traveler Experience

Natural Conversation
Not Complex Filters

Real-world travel is too nuanced for a filter. Nuanced builds a new habit: expressing intent through natural dialogue.

Personalized
High-Definition Clarity

Flat price lists are relics. They hide your true value. Nuanced brings your full catalog into focus, tailoring every offer to the journey at hand.

Freedom from
"App Trap"

Travelers avoid the app trap—one interface provides access to multiple airlines without downloading or managing separate airline apps.

Cheaper Travel
Higher Value

We reduce travelers cost  by bypassing legacy intermediaries. We drive higher ancillary yields through intelligent, context-aware retailing.

About Us

We don't compete with airlines; we empower them. By providing a neutral, fluid interface, we turn natural intent into direct retail success. Airline's control is absolute. Airline's success is our mission.

Nuanced is built around a simple shift: bringing NDC forward into the traveler experience.
 

Our vision is to turn airline retail capabilities into a direct, intuitive, and intent-driven interaction. Instead of treating NDC as a B2B connectivity layer, we activate it where it matters most — at the moment a traveler is deciding.


We don’t replace airline systems. We don’t rebuild distribution. We unlock the value of what airlines have already built.

Quantifying Indirect-Sales Loss for a $1.0B Revenue Airline

A $1.0B-revenue airline typically sells a meaningful share of tickets through indirect channels.

 

Those channels may deliver volume, but they also impose three structural penalties: higher cost of sale, lower ancillary capture, and weak customer ownership.

Over a year, these penalties can quietly add up to a material profit and revenue opportunity.

An airline with $1B in revenue is effectively "losing" 11.2% of its potential top line every year from indirect sales. This isn't just a cost of doing business; it is a structural failure of legacy distribution.
