The 10-year deal will see Etihad Airways utilise integrated software across its reservations, inventory, marketing, planning, eCommerce, distribution and departure control operations.
The Sabre-created software will be implemented by February, 2013.
Etihad Airways chief executive James Hogan said, “It will be the single largest technology-enabled business change that Etihad Airways will undertake in a decade.
“Sabre came to us with a world class product that we believe will help us increase revenues but also take our outstanding customer service to another level.â€
Also included in the deal is a multi-year, full content distribution agreement to provide Sabre-connected travel agents worldwide with real time access to Etihad Airways’ flight and scheduling information.
Etihad Airways will also be able to access the Sabre global distribution system to market and sell products and services.
