Delta Air Lines inks long-term distribution agreement with Sabre

Delta Air Lines has signed a long-term distribution agreement with travel industry technology provider Sabre. The agreement allows Sabre-connected travel agents to access EDIFACT and new distribution capability (NDC) content, which enhances the agents' ability to provide comprehensive travel offers to their customers. Delta had detailed earlier in the year its selling and servicing transformation which included NDC. Both companies will collaborate to integrate NDC content into Sabre's travel marketplace to support this strategy. ""We look forward to collaborating with Sabre to make Delta’s NDC technology solution available to all Sabre-connected travel agents to ensure that our customers receive the best possible travel experience tailored to their needs,"" said Delta Air Lines managing director, distribution strategy and agency sales programs Jeff Lobl. Sabre travel solutions chief commercial officer Roshan Mendis commented: ""Sabre is delighted to extend our long-standing partnership with Delta Air Lines and to support their NDC journey.""
