FOR AIRLINES
The omnichannel distribution you want with the operational efficiency sellers need
NDC is an industry standard. Our vision is much broader – and we think airlines should think bigger, too. That’s what we mean by going beyond NDC. Helping airlines succeed with Offer and Order-based retailing, enabled by NDC, is a new chapter in our 60-year history of delivering industry solutions.
For airlines, Sabre serves as both an NDC airline IT provider and as an NDC aggregator–this means that not only do we help airlines create innovative NDC offers, but we also help them expand distribution reach through owned and third-party channels. Our precision and unwavering focus on performance mean that when you’re ready for NDC, we can help you scale it.
