Sabre Travel Network announced the global release of a newly enhanced automated solution to simplify complicated negotiated fare contracts.
With the automated solution, airlines file published fares and rules via Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCo) using the Category 25 Fare by Rule process to attach corporate discount formulas and client-specific fare rules to the fares they file. The Sabre GDS then accepts the ATPCo feeds, automatically calculating the right fare.
“This development allows more accurate and quicker filings, decreasing the agent workload and the presence of human error,” said John Stow, president of Sabre Travel Network.
He said the process virtually eliminates discrepancies by manual input of the rules because there is no interpretation — only automation.
