Alas Uruguay Implements Sabre’s Distribution Technology

Alas Uruguay has signed a long term technology and e-commerce agreement with Sabre.

Alas Uruguay will distribute its fares via the Sabre GDS and benefit from real-time connectivity to 425,000 agents using the system in 144 countries, with strategic reach to agencies in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil.

“We’ve chosen Sabre’s technology to accelerate our plans to put our flights and services in front of the largest travel agency community in key markets to be served by Alas Uruguay, and build strategic partnerships that will create better service and revenue opportunities from our regional flights network,” said Guillermo Roche, distribution manager for Alas Uruguay.

For its flight operations launch, Alas Uruguay will offer regular service connecting their hub in Montevideo’s Carrasco International Airport with Punta del Este, Asuncion (Paraguay), and Buenos Aires (Argentina). In coming weeks the regional network will also include São Paulo (Brazil), and Santiago (Chile).

In anticipation of these tickets and seats to be offered across channels, Sabre-connected agents can now shop and book the airline’s fares.

Among major connectivity enhancements, Alas Uruguay will benefit from e-ticketing technology to deliver last-seat available inventory, schedules, instant booking confirmation and ticket changes via Sabre.

“We are excited to have Alas Uruguay as the latest airline to sign with Sabre, as we share a commitment in creating business opportunities in the country chosen by Sabre to invest with a world-class service center for the global travel industry,” said Luiz Ambar, vice president of Sabre in southern Latin America. “We are wholly-committed to supporting their growth and expansion to regional destinations, and particularly to strengthen their collaboration with travel agents.”
