KenyaTPConnects is an IATA-certified travel technology leader specializing in next-generation airline retailing, New Distribution Capability (NDC), and Offer and Order management infrastructure. Dual-focused on both airlines (via its Astra NDC Gateway) and travel sellers (via its Iris Aggregation Platform and Iris Express API), TPConnects modernizes airline distribution by replacing rigid legacy EDIFACT workflows with lightweight, responsive API connections.
For Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), Travel Management Companies (TMCs), and booking engines, the Iris Express API solves one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern travel technology: the heavy payload and latency often associated with full-scale NDC schemas. Iris delivers high-speed flight search, dynamic multi-airline fare comparisons, personalized ancillaries (seat maps, extra baggage, meal selection), and instant order fulfillment with optimized payload sizes and sub-second response times.
TPConnects holds IATA Airline Retailing Maturity (ARM) Index certification as an IT Vendor and System Aggregator. It supports full NDC servicing capabilities including automated ticket changes, cancellations, refund calculations, and schedule change webhooks, empowering travel businesses to operate automated flight booking operations at scale.
