Sabre and American Airlines Renew Technology Partnership

Southlake, Texas, December 10, 2024 — In a significant move for the travel technology sector, Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) and American Airlines have announced the multi-year renewal of their technology partnership. This exciting agreement focuses on the SabreSonic® Passenger Service System (PSS), highlighting the commitment of both industry leaders to enhance the traveler experience and modernize travel technology.

In statements regarding their continued partnership, Scott Laurence, Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Retailing at American Airlines, emphasized the company's dedication to putting customers at the forefront of their decisions. He noted, "American is focused on leveraging solutions, like SabreSonic, that meet the needs of our customers and our team, and we're pleased to extend our partnership with Sabre."

This renewed collaboration is set to build on a decade of successful work that has already transformed the SabreSonic PSS, paving the way for numerous innovations that benefit both airlines and travelers. These advancements include intelligent seat re-accommodation systems, improvements in inventory management, and enhanced cabin functionality and regulations.

Roshan Mendis, Chief Commercial Officer of Sabre Travel Solutions, expressed pride in the partnership, stating, "American is a leader in the global airline space, and we are proud our solutions continue to meet and exceed its needs and expectations in the ever-evolving travel industry." He further noted Sabre’s commitment to supporting American Airlines in achieving its commercial and technology strategies while ensuring customer needs remain a priority.

Beyond the extension of SabreSonic, American Airlines has also renewed its subscription to Sabre PRISM, a solution designed for corporate travel contract management. This announcement follows last year's resolution where American's New Distribution Capability (NDC) offers became available through Sabre's Global Distribution System (GDS).

The renewal of this partnership not only highlights the robust relationship between the two companies but also signifies a strategic stance for both entities against the backdrop of the changes and challenges within the travel industry. Furthermore, last week they reached an agreement to resolve litigation stemming from a lawsuit filed in 2011 involving US Airways, which underscores their ability to work together and focus on mutual goals.
