Abstract:

The article examines the transformation of international fare regulation standards in civil aviation under the pressure of NDC, API distribution, continuous pricing, dynamic offer creation, and airline retailing. The topic gains relevance because airlines still depend on common fare, ticketing, and distribution standards, while digital tools move pricing decisions closer to the customer request. The study aims to explain how unified fare rules coexist with differentiated airline pricing strategies. The methodology combines source analysis, comparative interpretation, conceptual synthesis, typologization, and analytical generalization. The source base consists of recent academic and industry publications on IATA distribution standards, ATPCO fare infrastructure, dynamic offers, continuous pricing, ancillary optimization, inter-organizational systems, and value migration in aviation. The article identifies the movement from filed fares toward offer-based commercial architecture, explains the changing function of tariff specialists, and proposes governance principles for airlines that introduce dynamic fare tools without losing distribution reliability.
