Amadeus NT & NTSR Commands: Group Passenger Name Transmission

Q: What does the Amadeus NT command do?

The Amadeus NT command transmits group passenger names to all airlines in the group PNR — the fastest option for single-agreement group itineraries.

Q: What does NTSR,AZ mean?

NTSR,AZ transmits group passenger names to multiple airlines, listing the carrier codes for each airline that should receive the names. It is one of the most flexible variations of the Amadeus NTSR command .

Q: How do I transmit names to a specific airline office?

Use NTBRURMSN for a specific office, or NTSR,BRURMSN to specify both an airline and an office. Both are part of the Amadeus NT NTSR commands family and are used when the airline requires the names to be routed to a specific office.

Amadeus NT & NTSR — Transmit Group Passenger Names

A complete guide to the Amadeus NT NTSR commands — how to transmit group passenger names to airlines in a group PNR, whether to all carriers, a specific airline, or a specific airline office.

⚡ Key Takeaways

NT transmits group names to all airlines in the itinerary — the fastest option for single-agreement groups.
NTSR targets a specific carrier, and NTSR,AZ covers multiple airlines in one entry.
NTBRURMSN and NTSR,BRURMSN send names to a specific airline office when the airline requires it.
Names must be verified with RTN and RTNR before transmission — once submitted, they cannot be easily changed.
Group bookings carry strict name deadlines — missing them can trigger automatic cancellation by the airline.

In a group PNR, passenger names are not automatically visible to the airline. Once the individual names have been added to the booking, they must be transmitted to the airline so that the carrier can process the group, confirm the names against the group space, and issue the tickets. The Amadeus NT NTSR commands handle this transmission. They allow you to send group passenger names to all airlines in the itinerary, to a specific airline, to multiple airlines, or to a specific airline office.

What Do the Amadeus NT NTSR Commands Do?

NT and NTSR are Amadeus GDS commands used to transmit passenger names to airlines in a group PNR.

Category: Group Booking.

The Amadeus NT NTSR commands allow you to transmit group passenger names to all airlines, a specific airline, multiple airlines, or a specific airline office.

Unlike individual bookings, where the passenger names are part of the PNR from the start, group bookings use a group name element until the names are formally transmitted. The NT and NTSR entries are the step that moves the booking from a group shell to a fully named group reservation ready for ticketing.

Amadeus NT Command — Transmit Names to All Airlines

The simplest form of the Amadeus NT command sends the group passenger names to every airline in the itinerary. Use it when the itinerary is operated entirely by carriers that participate in the same group fare agreement and all need to receive the names at the same time.

Transmit names to every airline in the group PNR:

NT

This sends the group passenger names to all airlines in the group PNR. Use it when the itinerary is operated entirely by carriers that participate in the same group fare agreement and all need to receive the names at the same time.

Amadeus NTSR Command — Transmit Names to a Specific Airline

When only one carrier in the itinerary requires the names — or when each airline must be transmitted to separately — the Amadeus NTSR command targets a specific airline.

Transmit names to a specific airline:

NTSR

This transmits the names to the specific airline indicated in the entry. Use it when only one carrier in the itinerary requires the names, or when each airline must be transmitted to separately.

Amadeus NTSR Command — Transmit Names to Multiple Airlines

Multi-carrier group itineraries require transmission to more than one airline. The Amadeus NTSR command handles this with a comma-separated list of carrier codes.

Transmit names to more than one airline in a single entry:

NTSR,AZ

This transmits names to multiple airlines, listing the carriers as required. Use it in multi-carrier group itineraries where more than one airline needs to receive the passenger names.

Amadeus NT Command — Transmit Names to a Specific Airline Office

Some airlines require group names to be sent to a specific office — usually the group desk at a particular city — rather than to the carrier’s general system. The Amadeus NT command supports this through an office code suffix.

Transmit names to a specific airline office:

NTBRURMSN

This transmits names to a specific airline office identified by the office code. Use it when the airline requires group names to be sent to a particular office — for example, the group desk at a specific city — rather than to the carrier’s general system.

Amadeus NTSR Command — Transmit Names to an Airline and Office

The most targeted option combines the airline code and office code in a single entry. This is the right choice when the airline explicitly requires names to be routed to a specific office rather than the general group processing system.

Transmit names to a specific airline and office together:

NTSR,BRURMSN

This transmits the names to a specific airline and airline office combined. This is the most targeted option and is used when the airline requires the names to be routed to a specific office rather than to the general group processing system.

When to Use the Amadeus NT NTSR Commands

Use the Amadeus NT NTSR commands when passenger names in a group PNR need to be transmitted to the relevant airline or airline office for group booking processing. Typical scenarios include:

Submitting the final passenger list before the airline’s name deadline.
Transmitting names to each carrier in a multi-airline group itinerary.
Sending names to a specific airline office as required by the group contract.
Re-transmitting names after corrections or additions have been made.
Confirming that the group booking has been fully processed by the airline.
Meeting the airline’s requirement that names be sent before ticket issuance.

How It Fits Into Your Group Booking Workflow

A typical group booking session using the Amadeus NT NTSR commands might look like this:

Retrieve the group PNR and confirm all individual names have been added.
Verify the names with RTN and confirm the original entries with RTNR.
Enter NT to send names to all airlines, or NTSR with airline codes for specific carriers.
Use NTBRURMSN or NTSR,BRURMSN for office-specific transmission.
Confirm the transmission was accepted by the system.
Proceed with pricing, TST review, and ticket issuance once names are acknowledged.

Amadeus NT NTSR Commands — Quick Reference Table

Command	What It Does
`NT`	Transmits group names to all airlines in the itinerary
`NTSR`	Transmits group names to a specific airline
`NTSR,AZ`	Transmits group names to multiple airlines
`NTBRURMSN`	Transmits group names to a specific airline office
`NTSR,BRURMSN`	Transmits group names to a specific airline and office together

How the Amadeus NT NTSR Commands Relate to Other Group Booking Commands

The Amadeus NT NTSR commands work alongside the broader group booking toolkit in Amadeus. Here is how they relate:

NG → creates a group name element.
AN/RGRP → displays group availability.
SS/SG or SS/PG → sells confirmed or waitlisted group space.
SRGRPF → adds a Group Fare SSR element with a remark.
RTN / RTNR → display individual passenger names in a group PNR.
NT / NTSR → transmit group passenger names to airlines.
TTP → issues the group tickets once names are accepted.

The key distinction: the Amadeus NT NTSR commands are the final transmission step before ticketing. Everything before them (creating the group, selling space, adding names, verifying with RTN/RTNR) sets the stage — the NT transmission is what makes the airline act on the group.

Important — Verify Before You Transmit

Group PNRs carry strict airline deadlines for name submission. Missing that deadline usually results in the group space being automatically cancelled without notice.

Always verify the names with RTN and RTNR before running the Amadeus NT NTSR commands, and check that the transmission was accepted by the airline. Once submitted, names cannot be easily changed without contacting the airline directly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amadeus NT NTSR Commands

What does the Amadeus NT command do?

The Amadeus NT command transmits group passenger names to all airlines in the group PNR — the fastest option for single-agreement group itineraries.

What does NTSR,AZ mean?

NTSR,AZ transmits group passenger names to multiple airlines, listing the carrier codes for each airline that should receive the names. It is one of the most flexible variations of the Amadeus NTSR command.

How do I transmit names to a specific airline office?

Use NTBRURMSN for a specific office, or NTSR,BRURMSN to specify both an airline and an office. Both are part of the Amadeus NT NTSR commands family and are used when the airline requires the names to be routed to a specific office.

When should I transmit group names?

Once all individual passenger names have been added and verified in the group PNR — and before the airline’s name submission deadline. Use RTN and RTNR to verify before transmission.

Can I re-transmit names after corrections?

Yes. If names need to be corrected or added after the initial transmission, run the Amadeus NT NTSR commands again to send the updated list. Always confirm with the airline that the updated names have been accepted.

Conclusion

The Amadeus NT NTSR commands complete the group booking process by transmitting passenger names to the airlines. Use NT to send names to all carriers in the itinerary, NTSR or NTSR,AZ for a specific airline or multiple airlines, and NTBRURMSN or NTSR,BRURMSN for airline office-specific transmission.

Because group bookings carry strict name deadlines, always verify names with RTN and RTNR before transmitting, and confirm the transmission was accepted. The Amadeus NT NTSR commands are the final step before ticketing — getting them right is what keeps the group space confirmed and the airline ready to issue.

Paired with NG, AN/RGRP, SS/SG, SRGRPF, and TTA, the Amadeus NT NTSR commands ensure every group reservation is fully processed and ready for ticketing — from the first name element to the final ticket for every passenger.
