Sabre Corporation is launching NDC offers from Qantas to travel agencies in Australia and New Zealand, allowing travel agents connected to Sabre’s global travel marketplace to shop, price, book, pay, cancel, void, refund and exchange unique NDC offers from Qantas. After the initial launch in Australia and Zealand, Sabre will progressively roll-out the airline’s NDC content in other regions across the world.
“Our partnership with Qantas has led us to another milestone in our journey towards our goal of enabling our airline customers to distribute personalized offers – both through our marketplace and through their direct channels,” said Kathy Morgan, vice president, Offer Sourcing, Sabre Travel Solutions. “In today’s challenging environment, travelers increasingly demand personalized offers, which can be delivered through NDC-enabled technology. We are convinced that this provides new opportunities for both Qantas and our agency network to increase their revenues and enhance customer loyalty.”
“Despite the significant challenges facing airlines globally, Qantas remains committed to progressing our NDC roadmap”, said Igor Kwiatkowski, Qantas Executive Manager, Global Sales & Distribution, “We’ve launched a number of new features in recent months, and have plans for more to come, all designed to deliver richer content and a better experience for our customers and agency partners. We have worked with Sabre for more than three decades, so it’s fantastic to build on our long-term partnership with the distribution of our NDC content.”
