Sabre Corporation has announced the activation of Air France and KLM’s New Distribution Capability (NDC) content within its global travel marketplace, providing Sabre-connected agencies with access to exclusive fares, continuous pricing, and enhanced travel options. This strategic integration allows travel sellers to offer more personalized and competitive options to clients, marking a significant advancement in modern airline retailing.
Through this collaboration, Air France and KLM can distribute enriched content and innovative offers—including exclusive promotions and extra services such as Seat and Extra SAF Bundles—via Sabre’s Offer and Order APIs, Sabre Red 360, Sabre Red Launchpad, and various online booking platforms. The move supports the airlines’ goal of delivering flexible, customer-centric fare structures beyond traditional static pricing.
“Integrating our NDC content with Sabre marks a key milestone in our distribution strategy,” said Angus Clarke, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer at Air France-KLM. “It enables us to offer travelers better fares and extra options while empowering our agency partners with real-time access to our most competitive offers.”
Sabre’s multi-source content platform blends NDC, traditional ATPCO/EDIFACT, and low-cost carrier content into a single, streamlined interface, allowing travel agents to compare and book across various airline retail models without workflow disruption. This unified approach ensures that agencies can efficiently shop, book, and manage a wider array of offers while maintaining operational simplicity.
“This collaboration reflects the shift toward a more intelligent and flexible retailing environment,” added Roshan Mendis, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer of Sabre Travel Solutions. “We are committed to expanding NDC capabilities to ensure that agencies can deliver greater value to travelers through personalized, scalable content.”
Sabre continues to lead the industry in NDC integration, offering access to NDC content from more airlines than any other global distribution system (GDS), and reinforcing its commitment to supporting the entire travel ecosystem with seamless, next-generation retail solutions.
