The new full-content distribution agreement will also see the
airline to embrace Sabre's technology and GDS-enabled solutions
portfolio, including Low Fare Search capabilities, to support
efficient merchandising of fares and inventory through travel
agents subscribed to Sabre worldwide. Sabre and Peruvian
Airlines have already started to work on the technology
implementation pipeline, after which the content will be
available on desktop, web and tablets for shopping and
booking.
Alfonso Nunez Ghersi, general
manager for Peruvian Airlines, said: "Our agreement with Sabre
meets perfectly how we see our airline's next step in commerce and
distribution, defined by partnering with agencies and technology
vendors that provide travelers with affordable options shown by
transparent shopping capabilities. Peruvian Airlines will now
leverage innovative technology adopted by hundreds of airlines
globally. The expanded distribution with Sabre coupled with their
expertise in the travel industry, will help us merchandise
efficiently through Sabre's leading marketplace and better serve
travelers."
Jay Jones, senior vice president
of Sabre in The Americas, said: "We are excited to be the
distribution provider of choice for Peruvian Airlines, as we fully
support their understanding of regional air travel, and
particularly the need to bring a broad range of convenient flight
options to consumers no matter the reason of their trip or budget.
Our technology team will now collaborate with Peruvian's IT staff,
so we can contribute to their business growth by providing them the
broadest reach to travelers in Peru and across Latin America."
Peruvian Airlines is among the fastest growing airline
businesses in Latin America and
The Caribbean. Since it began
operations in October 2009, the
carrier has expanded their fleet to meet the hiking air travel
demand, driven by a mix of affordable fares and mid-class
passengers getting onboard. The airline currently serves
multiple destinations for tourism and corporate travel, as
Lima, Cusco, Tacna, Arequipa,
Iquitos, Piura, and others. The airline plans to expand services
to Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela, Cuba and the United
States.
