Sabre, Air France-KLM sign NDC distribution agreement

Air France-KLM and Sabre announced completion of a strategic multi-year NDC distribution agreement as well as the renewal of their existing EDIFACT agreement. Collaboration between the partners has been extended with New Distribution Capability enriched offers, which will be marketed and sold alongside EDIFACT content, through Sabre’s global distribution system. The Air France-KLM NDC offers will be rolled out to Sabre-connected travel agencies in a phased approach next year. The agreement demonstrates Sabre’s continued commitment to driving value and serving the diverse interests of the various stakeholders participating in the global travel marketplace. It helps agencies to efficiently shop and compare increasingly sophisticated offers, while their travelers will benefit from an enhanced experience with more choice and transparency. It also enables Air France and KLM to distribute their customized NDC offers, thanks to continuous pricing and tailor-made bundles, to the global network of Sabre-connected agencies.
