WestJet and Sabre have signed a multi-year renewal of their distribution agreement.
WestJet said this allows the carrier to continue providing Sabre-connected agencies access to its content, including future New Distribution Capability (NDC) offers.
“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, CCO of 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.”
Once NDC is implemented, travel advisors will be able to shop, book and service the airline'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.
Details about the NDC implementation will be shared closer to the launch.
