The agreement provides Sabre travel agencies and corporations around the world with access to their content, including fares, schedules and availability through the Sabre global distribution system (GDS).
"We have always been uniquely positioned to help airlines get the maximum yield for each seat sold through our extensive corporate, online and agency partnerships around the world. This agreement also guarantees Sabre-Connected travel agents efficient access to Qatar Airways' extensive range of fares," said Martin Cowley, Senior Vice President, Sabre Travel Network in EMEA.
Qatar Airways said Sabre's strong growth in the Middle East combined with its extensive global reach made the company an ideal partner to support the airline's expansion plans, which include its new daily non-stop service between Doha and Houston being launched on March 30.
The airline said a good growth strategy involved working with a marketing distribution partner to enhance global reach for business and leisure travellers.
Sabre currently has a strong corporate and online customer base around the world.
