Papua New Guinea’s national carrier, Air Niugini, has renewed distribution and distributor agreements with Sabre Corporation. Celebrating its 50th year, Air Niugini continues distributing fares and offers through Sabre's global travel marketplace, ensuring travel agents in the region have access to global content.
As a leading software and technology provider, Sabre powers the global travel industry and serves various travel companies, including airlines, hoteliers, and travel agencies. The renewed deal between Sabre and Air Niugini will ensure that the airline can continue to reach Sabre’s extensive network of global travel buyers.
“We’re delighted to renew our important distribution agreement with Sabre as we get ready to enter our next half century,” explained Paul Abbott, General Manager, commercial and distribution, Air Niugini. “With travel restrictions now lifted to Papua New Guinea, it’s vital that we continue to work with Sabre, our preferred technology partner, to give global travel buyers access to the fare and offers they need to create enhanced experiences for their leisure and corporate travellers.”
Air Niugini uses the SabreSonic Passenger Service System (PSS) to deliver a unique customer experience and capture full revenue opportunities. The renewal also includes Air Niugini distributing the Sabre’s Global Distribution System (GDS) in Papua New Guinea.
Rakesh Narayanan, Vice President, Regional General Manager, Asia Pacific, Travel Solutions Airline Sales, expressed their excitement in continuing their valued relationship with Air Niugini.
“As travel recovery continues apace in Asia Pacific, it’s important airlines in the region are able to reach travellers across the world through Sabre’s extensive network of global buyers, and that travel agents have access to rich airline content.”
