New integrations with ITA Airways, Caledonian Sleeper, and Virtuo elevate localized inventory across Europe
“We’re seeing incredible momentum across Europe, bookings to and from the continent are up year-over-year, and to truly serve the European market you have to continually invest locally,” said Michael Riegel, Chief Customer Officer at Navan. “By bringing ITA’s NDC, Virtuo, and Caledonian Sleeper cabins to Navan, we’re working to make sure European businesses have all the travel options they need, and are accessible in our easy to use app.”
Accelerating NDC Leadership with ITA Airways
As NDC technology matures, Navan continues to lead the transformation in business travel by enabling ITA Airways content via Lufthansa Group’s NDC API, using the latest version, 24.1. For travelers, this translates to exclusive content not available on legacy platforms, including ITA's Light (LGT) and Business (BXX). Additionally, the latest generation of the NDC API unlocks a superior post-booking experience by enabling seamless automation with unmatched speed and efficiency.
Prioritising Comfort with the Caledonian Sleeper
The integration of Caledonian Sleeper means Navan users can now book sleeper cabins on the UK's only overnight rail service. Running roughly eight hours between London and Scottish business hubs, the option to book Caledonian Sleeper cabins through Navan helps travelers prioritise comfortable and cost-effective travel, whilst maximizing traveler productivity for the day ahead.
“Through this new integration, the productivity, employee wellbeing, and low carbon benefits of choosing Caledonian Sleeper for corporate travel are now all just a click away,” said Steven Marshall, Head of Sales & Marketing for Caledonian Sleeper. “Our fully private guest rooms, some with en-suite, are now bookable via the Navan platform, bringing a restful overnight option between Scotland and London within easy reach.”
Streamlining Ground Transport with Virtuo
Navan’s integration with Virtuo will bring a new digital-first approach to car rentals for its travelers in France and the UK. Travelers can book a range of cars on the Navan platform, and access their rental remotely via the Virtuo app – 24/7, and with digital identity verification and AI-powered damage reporting. Travelers will no longer need to wait in line at the rental counter or sit through time-consuming inventory checks, and can instead go straight from the arrivals gate to their vehicle.
“Our 100% digital, mobile-only approach was built to bypass the traditional rental counter entirely,” said Marie Muller, Virtuo’s CEO. “Partnering with Navan allows us to bring that seamless experience to enterprise travelers, getting our customers on the road without the wait.”
These new integrations reinforce Navan’s commitment to expanding its European footprint, adding to a wave of recent inventory expansions including Swedish Rail, SAS NDC, and the bahn.business program from Deutsche Bahn.
