United Airlines Extends Global Distribution
Agreement with Sabre
United Airlines has extended its global
distribution agreement with Sabre.
Sabre’s technology enables the airline to market
and sell its expansive roster of fares globally through the GDS,
reaching more than 425,000 travel agents, and the travelers they
serve, across the world.
“As the industry moves into recovery, distributing
air content to high value travelers through Sabre’s global travel
marketplace will play a key role in the airline sector’s success,”
said
Roshan Mendis, Chief Commercial Officer, Sabre Travel
Solutions. “Sabre remains focused on delivering the retailing,
distribution and fulfillment solutions that support the growth and
profitability of our customers. United has a been a technology
leader and we are excited to continue our long-standing
relationship with them as we work together to deliver innovative
products to our subscribers.”
This renewed agreement also supports the
companies’ existing collaboration on NDC. The two companies
continue to collaborate on bringing to market additional
NDC-enabled capabilities. Sabre’s NDC-enabled solution is
fundamental to providing travelers’ access to the best
personalized offers.
“United is pleased to provide its customers with
its content through Sabre connected travel agents. We also look
forward to continuing our work with Sabre on NDC to bring the full
benefit of our rich, personalized, NDC content to all travelers
who book through this channel,” said Glenn Hollister, VP Sales
Strategy and Effectiveness from United. “United was the first
airline in the world to launch NDC with Sabre, and in working
together, we will eventually enable access through Sabre to the
full range of products and services that are currently available
on United.com and our NDC API.”
United was Sabre’s launch partner when Sabre first
introduced its NDC-enabled offers for flights across United’s
global network and the airline will continue distributing
competitive global content to the hundreds of thousands of travel
agents as well as the thousands of corporations who rely on
Sabre’s marketplace to shop, book and manage travel.
