Comtec has integrated the Sabre API into its Travelgateway product, allowing agents direct access to Sabre Air inside Travelink and Travelconnect.
The move will mean agents can now get access to published and CAT35 fares through Sabre.
Travelgateway also combines Sabre content with content already sitting in the system such as net fares, charters and carriers not yet on a GDS, widening out choice.
Comtec customers can now use Sabre fares in a bespoke fashion, choosing how they offer them so fares can be standalone, built into a package or as part of a tailormade itinerary.
“This is a significant integration for us,†said Comtec chief technology officer Humphrey Sheil.
“Sabre is a strong player in the GDS market, with broad global reach especially in North America, and integrating it with our Gateway ensures we will have an even stronger offering in our roll out across Europe, US and Canada.
“We have worked closely with Sabre to ensure that there is a seamless link between the systems, ensuring all our clients benefit from the best access and most flexible pricing and fares possible.â€
