IATA opens up a $5M NDC Innovation Fund for distribution companies

Today at its annual conference, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said it was creating a stand-alone venture capital fund, the NDC Innovation Fund.

The fund is jointly run by Travel Capitalist Ventures, a private equity and venture capital firm specializing in travel industry investments, such as in the startup Guiddoo, which makes mobile audio visual guides.

It's not just an airline-focused fund. Instead, the fund claims to support companies working on the distribution of hotel, rental car, cruise, and tours-and-activities products, too.
