Vietnam Airlines has extended its long-standing
distribution agreement with Sabre.
The extension ensures that
Vietnam Airlines' content will continue to be distributed to travel agents through Sabre’s extensive
marketplace.
In addition to
Sabre’s Global Distribution system (GDS), the Hanoi-based carrier
also uses a comprehensive suite of SabreSonic Passenger Service
System (PSS) technology including reservation and ticketing,
inventory and departure control solutions.
Vietnam Airlines
leverages Sabre’s Revenue Optimizer to maximize revenue using
near-real time network partner and comprehensive passenger revenue performance data, as well as further Sabre solutions to enable the
carrier to provide travellers with a premium personalized
experience.

“The aviation industry has evolved
rapidly in recent years, and we highly appreciate Sabre’s
wide-ranging, robust, scalable technological solutions for having
brought significant value to Vietnam Airlines. Sabre’s robust
global marketplace has supported Vietnam Airlines efficiently in
reaching travellers worldwide following the easing of travel
restrictions in Vietnam,” said Le Hong Ha, CEO, Vietnam Airlines.
“We also appreciate the commitment of Sabre in supporting the
recovery and growth of Vietnam Airlines as well as the Vietnam
travel industry during and after COVID19 pandemic. Today, we’re
very happy to reaffirm our long-standing partnership that our two
corporations have enjoyed for over a decade, and look forward to
new successes in the future"
Operating across dozens of domestic and international
destinations, Vietnam Airlines continues to ramp up operations
following the re-opening of Vietnam’s borders to international
travellers earlier this year. The carrier is playing a key role in
Vietnam’s aim to push tourist arrivals to five million this year,
including attracting tourists from key markets such as India,
the US, Europe and the Middle East.
“The fact that
we’re able to be in Vietnam to meet our valued partners at Vietnam
Airlines and sign this agreement in person is testament to the
strong recovery we are seeing across all sectors of the travel
industry,” said Sean Menke, Chair of the Board and CEO, Sabre.
“This agreement demonstrates our clear commitment to supporting
the rapid recovery and future growth of the Vietnam travel
industry. We’re excited that Sabre will continue to bring
significant value to Vietnam Airlines at this critical time for
Vietnam’s aviation market and we look forward to continuing to
enable the carrier to connect the world to some of Asia’s most
exciting destinations.”
