Sabre Corporation a prominent provider of software and technology solutions for the global travel sector, has renewed its extensive distribution partnership with Qantas, the largest airline in Australia. This multi-year collaboration underscores the shared dedication of Sabre and Qantas to offering travel agencies worldwide an extensive range of content. The agreement ensures access to Qantas’ New Distribution Capability (NDC) content, delivering enhanced flexibility and choice for travel professionals globally.

“At Qantas, we’re focused on enhancing our retailing capabilities to meet the dynamic needs of both travellers and travel agencies,” said Kathryn Robertson, Qantas Executive Manager, Global Sales & Distribution. “Our continuing collaboration with Sabre is central to our distribution strategy, helping ensure our customers can seamlessly shop, book, and service a comprehensive range of Qantas content via NDC. We’re excited to be able to offer agencies more flexibility and choice in the coming months through Sabre’s global marketplace.”

Sabre and Qantas share a strong, enduring partnership, with Sabre playing a pivotal role as one of the initial global distribution systems to provide Qantas’ NDC offers starting in 2021. Through the renewed agreement, travel agents connected to Sabre will retain access to the full spectrum of Qantas’ offers, both traditional EDIFACT and NDC, ensuring a comprehensive range of booking options.

This renewed agreement highlights the joint commitment of Qantas and Sabre to creating a comprehensive marketplace that seamlessly meets the demands of a rapidly evolving travel ecosystem.”
