Why it matters
Why Shahraah should care
One of the strongest flight-specific candidates with NDC/GDS/LCC content, sandbox/certification and post-ticketing support.
Scoring rationale
One of the clearest flight-focused API candidates: explicit NDC/GDS/LCC content, hotel inventory, sandbox, certification and post-ticketing support. Particularly relevant because Shahraah needs dependable flight supply.
Opportunity for Shahraah (provisional)
High-potential multi-product flights + hotel API partner. Check UAE entity/availability for a Pakistan company before assuming India-focused Riya Connect registration applies.
What we need from them
- Pakistan entity/onboarding
- fare ownership
- deposits/credit
- exact NDC carriers
- refund/reissue workflow
- margins

Products and services researched
Flight API (NDC/GDS/LCC/global fares); hotel content; agency B2B portal
- API
- Official Riya Travel API offering confirmed for flights and hotels, with sandbox and certification; access conditional on onboarding.
- Coverage
- API site claims 500,000+ hotels and wide airline content; counts inconsistent across other Riya pages; validate.
- Integration notes
- Avoid combining India-specific agent registration eligibility with Pakistan eligibility. Riya marketing pages have inconsistent inventory counts.
Commercial and onboarding
- Access
- Supplier enquiry required
What is known
Commercial terms not publicly verified in this research checkpoint
Open questions
Will UAE or other entity contract Shahraah in Pakistan? DTS-pending pre-onboarding? Buyer API schema and live coverage; 2–4 week supplier timeline applicability; deposit/credit, service levels?
