NUC is used in fares to handle what scenario?

NUC, or Neutral Unit of Construction, is a single reference value used to price and combine fare components that may be in different currencies. When a fare includes multiple currencies—such as a base fare in one currency and taxes or surcharges in another—NUC provides a common denominator so the entire fare can be calculated consistently. The fare components are converted to NUC, added up, and then converted to the passenger’s payment currency for ticketing. This keeps prices stable and accurate despite currency differences and fluctuations. It isn’t about whether a booking is international, nor about using only one currency, nor specifically about taxes—it's about handling multiple currencies within a fare.
