Sabre accelerates NDC rollout with Qatar Airways
Sabre Corporation has successfully integrated all New Distribution Capability (NDC) content from Qatar Airways.
After a pilot phase with agency customers in Australia and Sweden, the offers will now be rolled out successively to travel agencies across the globe.
Travel agencies will be able to shop, book, and manage NDC offers from Qatar Airways.
Access to Qatar’s content will be available through Sabre Red 360, Sabre’s agency point-of-sale tool, as well as its NDC-enabled offer and order APIs.
“We’ve been actively engaged in Sabre’s Beyond NDC program for several years and we’re proud to be the first carrier based in EMEA to make our products and offers available to the global travel agency community,” said Matt Raos, Senior Vice President Global Sales at Qatar Airways. “
Some key NDC developments expected for 2022 include dynamic air pricing with the recently launched Air Price IQ product within the Sabre Retail Intelligence suite
This will enable airlines to optimise offers in real-time with machine learning and data analytics.
Sabre is now included in the Airline Retailing Maturity (ARM) index from tIATA.
Radixx, which provides solutions for low-cost carrier airlines, is also expected to become certified under the ARM index later this year.
“We believe that realizing the potential of NDC is a collaborative effort, and we are excited about the progress we are making with carriers like Qatar Airways,” said Kathy Morgan, VP, Channel Delivery, Sabre Travel Solutions.
