Sabre has signed an agreement with Azul Brazilian Airlines to distribute the airline’s fares via the Sabre travel marketplace globally.
Sabre connected agents will have access to e-ticketing technology for Azul’s last-seat available inventory, schedules, instant confirmation and ticket changes on the platform.
"Azul is pleased to work with Sabre as we continue to improve our offering to an even wider range of corporate and leisure travelers, and to enhance our commercial operations," said Abhi Shah, chief revenue officer for Azul.
"Travel agents are partners of our sales strategy and we will leverage Sabre’s broad access to them in the USA and other major markets," Shah added.
Azul operates about 900 daily flights domestically throughout Brazil and also serves Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
"The combination of Azul’s competitive fares and extensive network to more than 100 cities across Brazil, combined with Sabre’s retailing technology and reach to travel agencies around the world, enables Azul to further improve its commercial goals," said Jay Jones, senior vice president of Sabre in the Americas region.
"We are excited to have Azul as the latest airline to sign with Sabre, and we are wholly committed to supporting their growth across all sales channels, particularly strengthening their collaboration with travel agents."
