Galileo: Sabre program ‘disappointing’

Monday, 12 June 20063 min read

Will Cendant-owned Galileo follow Sabre in charging travel management clients for full airline content?

“We continue to believe that cost-shifting is not an ideal outcome for our industry,” Cendant said in a statement.

Sabre announced plans to redefine agency/GDS models through an optional fee-based program. It gives US-based global distribution subscribers access to full airfare content and immunity from airline service charges.

Galileo called the GDS’s announcement “disappointing.”
