Everyone agrees airlines are moving to NDC. Nobody agreed on who's actually ahead. We asked 82 carriers directly to find out https://lnkd.in/dug-RN6C, and the answer breaks every assumption about size and capability.

$45 billion. That's what better retailing could add to the airline industry by 2030, according to McKinsey & Company and International Air Transport Association (IATA). Most airlines haven't captured it yet. NDC is a big part of how the industry is trying to get there. We’ve updated our research on where airline NDC adoption stands today, comparing 82 carriers and their capabilities. Watch the video for my overview, or check out the full datasheet linked below. And if you work with airline content, I’m curious: where do you still see the biggest gaps in NDC adoption? https://lnkd.in/eeP36yM8

Would you switch to a custom platform if you could afford to build it? If you run a $3 million business, a $500K custom platform never made sense. So you bought a SaaS subscription instead, and lived with whatever it couldn't do. AI puts custom development on the table for businesses that could never justify it before.

What changes when a team gets 40 Cursor licenses? For one CTO we worked with last month, nothing. They saw same release cadence as a year ago. When we sat down and mapped a single feature from idea to production, the reason became obvious. Coding took 2 days. Clarifying requirements, waiting for review, and re-doing work after the PM and the ticket disagreed took 5 weeks. AI sped up coding but didn't fix the process around it. That's the most common pattern we see, and the good news is that it's fixable. Throughout October, we're running free 60-minute sessions where one of our AI experts maps your delivery flow with you and finds where work actually waits. You'll get a written report afterward, whether we work together or not. Book your session below.

You’ve read dozens of blog posts about AI-first development life cycle. Now, try rebuilding your engineering processes to make 30 people deliver your product faster. That's harder. We send one senior engineer, who gets embedded with your team. They write the first specs with your analysts, set up the agent workflows, redesign review and QA around them, and stay until your people can run it without them. It’s not going to be a consultant with PowerPoint. It’s going to be a senior engineer who takes ownership of the change.

Claude Code can take a non-engineer to a working prototype in an afternoon. But are you ready to ship it to real users? Coding tools make it ridiculously easy for people with domain knowledge to write code. Yet they can’t build strict engineering discipline and processes. We build a counterforce to vibe coding: AI-generated code commits that are reviewed, tested, and traceable. Specifications serve as the source of truth, tests are written before implementation, and automated gates replace manual reviews. Hire an AltexSoft senior engineer to set up your spec-driven pipeline and take back control over what you ship.
