United extends Sabre deal

Wednesday, 03 Dec, 2008 0

United Airlines has signed a two-year extension of its current full-content agreement with Sabre Travel Network.

The airline’s agreement was to run until 2011 but will now run until 2013.

This means all United published fares and inventory, including any published fares sold through a third party, are available to subscribers of the GDS.

Sabre’s chief operating officer Hugh Jones hailed the agreement as proof that the GDS model was still held in high regard by airlines as an indispensable distribution channel.

He said: “This mutually beneficial agreement shows that United Airlines believes in the value of this distribution channel and the current GDS model, that’s why they are in the Sabre GDS today and why they want to continue that participation.”

He added: “This agreement extension assures all Sabre Connected travel agents that they will have efficient access to United’s full content for quite some time.”
