In 2012 IATA has initiated a new communication standard in airline distribution called New Distribution Capability (NDC) that will enable airlines, IT providers, and travel agents to work together to create new capability in the distribution of airline products and services as well as to simplify the business. NDC has been introduced to solve limitations of the existing programs in the distribution system and to represent the modernization of future air travel distribution. NDC standard intends to give a potential impact on future airline distribution where airlines will have wider opportunities to directly interact with intermediaries and reduce commission fees to the Global Distribution System (GDS). This study, in particular, confirms that airline distribution specialists firmly believe that NDC constitutes an important development in the airline industry and, while still being in its development stage, it clearly has the potential to address today´s market issues and to solve tomorrow´s challenges.

Pricing and product policy in the airline industry is very complex and different from other industries, thus a successful airline has to manage its products and pricing perfectly, otherwise it will not succeed on the extremely competitive airlines market. This paper has two main goals, firstly to generally define product policy and secondly to show the product policy of airlines. Currently, airlines operate in a very competitive industry with little to no option to differentiate their product which leads to low profitability. New Distribution Capability and another new technology have the potential to increase airlines’ revenue by better price discrimination and more personalization.

The holarctic moth genus Catocala Schrank (1802) (Erebidae: Erebinae, Catocalini) includes about 300 species that are often monophagous on oak (Quercus), willow (Salix) and poplar (Populus). In this research, we studied the moths of the genus Catocala in Iran that were collected by light traps in different Iranian provinces, mostly during 2010–2018. Our results revealed eight species and two subspecies of Catocala from the provinces of Kermanshah, Lorestan, Chaharmahal-va Bakhtiari, Ilam, Khuzestan, Kohgiluyeh-va Boyerahmad, Fars, Kerman, Khorasan-e Jonubi, Yazd and Khorasan-e Razavi. Among the records there are 14 new provincial records. Overall, we list 20 species and four subspecies of Catocala as occurring in Iran. This list is compiled from our own research and a review of existing literature.
