Acerca de Zubair

I’m a business consultant and analyst with about 8 years in airline distribution technology — the systems behind how flights are sold, priced, and ticketed. I worked at Hitit Computer Services on NDC and PSS platforms, and earlier as a PSS Project Manager at Pakistan International Airlines. I’m IATA NDC 20.1 certified.

I handle the technical and business side of airline distribution: NDC, PSS, and GDS integrations, API work across REST and legacy SOAP web services, ticketing and reissue issues, fare setup, and XML troubleshooting.

What I offer:

•Business analysis and consulting for airline distribution and travel-tech
•API integration — NDC (REST) and SOAP/XML web services
•Technical implementation and onboarding
•Translating requirements between airlines, aggregators, and agencies

    I’ve also founded my own NDC-based travel platform, so I understand delivery from both the consultant’s and the founder’s side.

    Based in Barcelona, fully remote across Europe, working in English. If you need someone who genuinely understands airline distribution, that’s my thing.
