DUBAI – Dubai-based Emirates has signed a 10-year global airline distribution agreement with travel distribution provider Sabre Travel Network.

The agreement was signed by HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and CEO, Emirates Airline and Group, and Sam Gilliland, CEO of Sabre Holdings.

Effective immediately, the agreement provides Sabre Connected travel agencies and corporations around the world with access to Emirates’ full content fares for the next 10 years through the Sabre global distribution system (GDS).

Keith Longstaff, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president, commercial operations worldwide, said, “In the past months, we have been working to align our distribution arrangements to support Emirates’ planned growth in terms of fleet and route expansion, particularly with the arrival of more A380 aircraft.

“Sabre enjoys global leadership in the corporate and online travel space, and has an impressive breadth and depth of travel services across both traditional and emerging channels.”
