China Southern Airlines renewed its global distribution agreement with Sabre Corporation allowing the airline to continue distributing its offers and content to the vast network of travel agents and related businesses connected to Sabre's global distribution system (GDS).
China Southern has a long-standing relationship with Sabre through which the airline utilizes Sabre’s fares and contract management solutions
Rakesh Narayanan, VP and regional general manager of Asia-Pacific, travel solutions and airline sales at Sabre said: “We're seeing pronounced recovery in APAC, particularly in international markets, and we look forward to continuing to support China Southern to promote its fares and offers through Sabre's travel marketplace as the airline adds to its own international route network."
Just last month, China Southern laid out its plans for international expansion with 47 international routes connecting over 203 destinations with a mix of new and resumed routes. These include services from Guangzhou Baiyun International to New York, Rome, and Jakarta.
