Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry, and Aeromexico, Mexico´s global airline, announced today that the carrier’s NDC content is now available through Sabre’s global distribution system (GDS).
Aeromexico is rolling out its NDC offers in waves, starting in Mexico this month. The airline’s content is now available through the Sabre Offer and Order APIs, agency booking solution Sabre Red 360 and Sabre’s online booking tool, GetThere for travel agencies based in Mexico. Thousands of Sabre-connected agencies in more than 150 countries around the world are already shopping, booking, and servicing NDC content through the Sabre GDS.
«We are delighted to take this next step in our NDC journey with Sabre as our trusted technology partner. Our collaboration has been very productive for both companies, and the launch of NDC through GDS capability is another example of the great work both teams have done to improve the customer experience and increase premium revenue,» said Rastislav Martos, Senior Vice President of Administration and Revenue Distribution, Aeromexico.
«Aeromexico’s primary goal is to provide its customers with the best omnichannel experience when shopping and buying our products, and this implementation will certainly help us strengthen our value-based product distribution offering.
