Italian travel management scale-up BizAway was recognised as the only Italian company to receive the prestigious Best European NDC Client 2024 award, alongside 15 other global travel agencies at FITUR in Madrid, Spain.

This acknowledgment highlights BizAway’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the travel industry, confirming the company as a key player in the adoption of NDC technology.

This recognition comes from the results BizAway achieved and for its strong growth in IB NDC adoption, reaching 70 percent from 29 percent in 2024. 

BizAway chief executive Luca Carlucci said of the distinction: “We are proud to have received this important recognition. Our commitment in this area is always high, and our goal is to continue to grow by offering the best possible experience to our customers, in line with market evolution. While the NDC standard continues to present challenges in Europe, we believe that this, combined with our customer care and the experience of our professionals, fits perfectly into a comprehensive and efficient solution. This also represents a significant driver of innovation for the future.”

A pioneer keeps winning

BizAway was among the first Italian companies to adopt the NDC standard.

Since 2021, the platform has provided its customers with more competitive fares and an increasingly diverse range of options. 

Today, 18 percent of bookings are made directly on the BizAway platform, resulting in an estimated 10 percent reduction in ticket costs.

Today, the company has eight operational locations in Italy, Spain, Albania, and Dubai. 

Likewise, BizAway has grown from just 150 employees in 2022 to over 300  as of end-2024, while revenues grew 40-fold from 2020 to 2025. 

The company recently closed a €35 million round in September 2024 to finance its further development, following the €10 million Series A round in 2022.
