Air France-KLM and Sabre Corporation have announced completion of a strategic multi-year NDC distribution agreement as well as the renewal of their existing EDIFACT agreement, according to a press release.
Collaboration between the partners 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 offers will be rolled out to Sabre-connected travel agencies in a phased approach next year.
The agreement helps agencies to efficiently shop and compare increasingly sophisticated offers, while their travellers 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.
“Choosing the right travel technology partners with which to collaborate is essential. Hence, we are pleased to extend our cooperation with Sabre. 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.” said Angus Clarke, chief commercial officer, Air
France-KLM.
