Effective immediately, this agreement provides Sabre Connected travel agencies and corporations around the world with easy and efficient access to Emirates' full content fares for the next 10 years through the Sabre global distribution system (GDS).
As the world's largest GDS with more corporate and online customers than any other GDS in the marketplace, Sabre Travel Network provides Emirates the ability to reach more corporate and leisure travellers using a multi-channel distribution strategy.
Keith Longstaff, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Worldwide, said: "In the past months, we have been working to align our distribution arrangements to support Emirates' planned growth in terms of fleet and route expansion, particularly with the arrival of more A380 aircraft.
"Sabre enjoys global leadership in the corporate and online travel space, and has an impressive breadth and depth of travel services across both traditional and emerging channels. We are confident that Sabre is an ideal partner to help us accelerate our global growth and support our fleet expansion plans, and look forward to working with them to achieve this using our combined strengths,"
said Longstaff.
Tom Klein, President, Sabre Travel Network and Sabre Airline Solutions said: "Today's announcement further cements the long-standing relationship we have with the Emirates Group and our desire to work together for mutual growth. Not only are we uniquely positioned to help Emirates expand their global operations and reach through our extensive corporate and agency partnerships around the world, we also share the same philosophy on distribution - which is to optimise all possible distribution channels, explore new technology and develop innovative new channels. It's great to share so many synergies with a partner."
