Air France-KLM and Sabre Corporation announced the completion of a strategic multi-year NDC distribution agreement and the renewal of their existing EDIFACT agreement.
This collaboration has been extended with New Distribution Capability (NDC) enriched offers, which will be marketed and sold alongside EDIFACT content through Sabre’s global distribution system (GDS).
The Air France-KLM NDC will be rolled out to Sabre-connected travel agencies in a phased approach next year.
The agreement enables Air France and KLM to distribute their customised NDC offers, thanks to continuous pricing and tailor-made bundles, to the global network of Sabre-connected agencies.
“Choosing the right travel technology partners with which to collaborate is essential. Hence, we are pleased to extend our cooperation with Sabre,” said Angus Clarke, Chief Commercial Officer, Air France-KLM.
“This will support our travel agent partners to provide the Air France-KLM enriched and attractive NDC offer, giving the travellers a wider range of options to enhance their journey, from start to finish.”
Sabre’s partnership with Air France-KLM reflects its commitment to modern travel retailing and is a big step forward for its European presence.
