As part of the agreement Oman Air will be providing additional benefits to the travel agency community including the managing of group travel and limousine bookings.
In addition Oman Air will have an option to expand its check-in services to its customers through its existing agreement with Sabre.
The expected result of this renewal is enhanced cost effectiveness, superior inventory management and increased product offerings, all benefits that Oman Air can pass on to its customers - the travel agents - locally, regionally and globally, due to the reach of Sabre's global distribution systems (GDS).
This agreement will provide a springboard for both partners, allowing further expansion in the region whilst capitalizing on the synergies created throughout the long term relationship.
This is in a market where Sabre has achieved a significant increase in its market presence in less than two years. Oman Air has also enjoyed significant growth in recent years expanding both its routes and fleet.
Daniel Naoumovitch, CEO of Sabre, said: "We are extremely proud to be recognized as the preferred GDS of one of the fastest growing carriers in the region. Sabre's robust technology, innovative suite of products and excellent customer service has allowed us to enhance Oman Air's offer to its customers, the travel agencies, and therefore the end travel consumer".
Ziad Al Haremi, CEO of Oman Aviation Services (Oman Air) said:
"We have invested significantly in our operations previously, as well as in recent years with a view to making Oman Air not only a regional player, but an international one. Our new corporate identity project has aided the carrier's transformation into a world-class airline. The airline has vigorously rejuvenated itself as a major carrier in the region. With our expanding fleet, we can offer new routes and more frequent flights regionally and globally, and the end result is more passenger choice. We look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial relationship with Sabre and to reaping the benefits of their constantly evolving technology and products".
Oman is a particularly buoyant market for Sabre which is looking forward to further signings with top travel agencies this year.
The company is well placed to capture new business as they have recently increased their team on the ground, as well as opening several more offices in the Sultanate.
