Sabre and WestJet expand distribution deal
Sabre and WestJet have signed a multi-year renewal of their distribution agreement, that will continue to provide Sabre-connected agencies with access to WestJet’s content including future New Distribution Capability (NDC) offers.
Once NDC is implemented, travel agents will be able to shop, book and service WestJet’s NDC offers, alongside its EDIFACT content, through Sabre’s Offer and Order APIs, the agency point-of-sale solution, Sabre Red 360, and the corporate booking tool, GetThere.
“We are pleased to have reached a multi-year agreement with Sabre to expand our long-standing distribution partnership to cover not only EDIFACT but also NDC content once the technical connectivity has been implemented,” said John Weatherill, chief commercial officer, WestJet.
“We rely on a trusted partner like Sabre to service a broad customer base through real-time connectivity to agency and corporate subscribers via the Sabre GDS.”
“We’re excited that our relationship with WestJet continues to gain momentum as we enable them to serve a broad scope of travelers,” said Roshan Mendis, chief commercial officer, Sabre Travel Solutions. “We look forward to being part of their continued growth by equipping them with the technology solutions that offer the broadest reach to help them succeed.”
