Sabre Travel Network, United Airlines extend distribution agreement

Nov 24, 2008 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
United Airlines has signed a two-year extension of their current full-content distribution agreement with Sabre Travel Network.

Through the extension of the distribution agreement, all United published fares and inventory will be available for subscribers of the Sabre global distribution system (GDS), including online and offline travel agencies.

This includes published fares that the airline sells through any third-party web site and through its own web site and reservation offices.

United's current distribution agreement with Sabre Travel Network was set to expire in 2011. The extension signed keeps the full content distribution agreement in place until 2013.

Hugh Jones, COO of Sabre Travel Network, said: "This mutually beneficial agreement shows that United Airlines believes in the value of this distribution channel and the current GDS model, that's why they are in the Sabre GDS today and why they want to continue that participation."
