Lift, the South African airline known for its flexible booking options and collaboration with Uber, has partnered with Sabre Corporation, a leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry.

Travel agents and corporations worldwide using Sabre will now have real-time access to Lift’s flight schedules, fares, and availability, facilitating bookings for their clients. This move marks a significant step for Lift as it seeks to expand its market presence beyond direct bookings and tap into the lucrative corporate travel segment.

By joining the Sabre network, Lift gains access to a vast audience of potential customers it may not have reached otherwise. For travel agents, this integration simplifies the booking process, allowing them to easily compare Lift’s offerings with those of other airlines.
This partnership also signifies Sabre’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the African travel market and providing its customers with a wider range of travel options. The collaboration benefits both companies by increasing Lift’s visibility and distribution channels, while simultaneously enriching Sabre’s GDS platform with a dynamic and customer-centric airline partner. Passengers can expect a more convenient and comprehensive booking experience as a result of this integration, whether they are booking through a travel agent or directly.
