SOUTHLAKE, Texas, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerolineas
Argentinas – Argentina's largest
airline – has renewed its long-term strategic partnership with
Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), achieving the carrier's objective
to move forward with innovative, next-generation technologies that
will facilitate expansion of its domestic and global
footprint. The agreement extends full content availability in
Sabre's global distribution system (GDS) and will enable Aerolineas
to leverage the latest SabreSonic passenger services system (PSS)
innovation to expand shopping and payment capabilities, improve
airport operations and enhance the end-to-end traveler
experience.
"Aerolineas is looking to streamline and find efficiencies that
give our airline a competitive advantage and benefit our customer
community to reach our main goal of sustainable growth,"
said Juan Valverde, Chief Planning
Officer for Aerolineas Argentinas. "We know that introducing
new products and services focused on personalization and quality
customer experiences is part of that equation. Sabre continues
to be the best technology partner to help us accomplish our
strategy and distribute our content to travel agents
worldwide."
Sabre's investment in retailing, distribution and fulfillment
technologies are complementary to Aerolineas' near and long-term
business objectives of e-Commerce innovation, expanded shopping and
payments capabilities and personalization. Aerolineas will also be
one of the first to leverage Sabre's new Digital Connect layer,
which provides APIs to enable speed to market and flexibility. This
solution will allow the carrier to control their brand experience
across channels while connecting seamlessly to the SabreSonic PSS.
Sabre's latest innovation will give Aerolineas the agility to
deliver a consistent yet personalized experience across the
traveler journey.
"Sabre has worked side by side with Aerolineas for more than two
decades. Our relationship is extensive, as is our understanding of
their business and the markets in which they operate," said
Ana Maria Escobar, vice president
and regional general manager, Sabre Airline Solutions, Latin America. "We are proud to maintain this
marquee airline customer and look forward to continued
collaboration between our teams as we implement new services and
