Sabre Travel Network has re-signed new full-content travel marketing agreements with 13 airlines operating from Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The most recent agreements have been signed with Air Algeria, Air Austral, Air Berlin, Air Europa, Air Malta, Arkefly, Condor, Croatia, Ethiopian Airlines, Malev Hungarian Airlines, Polish Airlines, Syrian Arab Airlines and Tunisair.
Five other airlines, Zanair, KDAvia, Antrak Air Ghana, Zambian Airways and Zambian Skyways have started distributing through the Sabre GDS for the first time.
This means that 343 airlines now have a full range of published fares and inventory on the Sabre global distribution system. This includes published fares that airlines sell through any third-party web site or their own website and reservations offices.
The agreements protect Sabre Connected travel agencies from any surcharges or service fees that the airlines may implement.
More than 80% of carriers participating in the Sabre GDS are now covered under the TMA agreements.
