Air Serbia Adopts Sabre’s NDC Technology to Lead Future of Travel Retailing
Sabre Corporation, a leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry, recenlty announced a strategic partnership with Air Serbia, Serbia’s national carrier.
This agreement establishes Sabre as Air Serbia’s NDC (New Distribution Capability) IT provider, empowering the airline to deliver a more personalized travel experience and unlock new revenue opportunities.
Sabre is a leader in supporting both NDC airline IT and NDC aggregation. This enables Air Serbia to not only create and manage their NDC content but also make it seamlessly available through third party channels. Sabre’s cloud-based solutions are built for agility and modularity, which means that Air Serbia can easily add new features and functionalities as their NDC strategy evolves.
Additionally, Sabre boasts powerful performance with NDC air shopping response times between 0.5 and 1.5 seconds, helping to ensure a smooth shopping experience for travel agencies and travelers.
“As we continue to embark on our journey to further modernize our retailing strategies, Air Serbia is proud to partner with Sabre,” said Jiri Marek, CEO of Air Serbia.
“With Sabre’s solutions we can extend our reach to third-party channels including travel agencies and aggregators, ensuring seamless access to our products and services.”
Sabre’s NDC airline IT solutions are a fundamental building block of SabreMosaic™, a recently announced intelligent, modular and open technology platform that is built to transform the way airlines retail. Powered by Google’s industry-leading artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, SabreMosaic allows airlines to create and deliver a wider range of content in real-time, unlocking new revenue opportunities.
The platform’s modular and open architecture provides airlines with the flexibility to choose the specific API-based Offer and Order solutions that best suit their business needs, helping to ensure a smooth integration with their existing infrastructure.
“With the shift to Offers and Orders at its core, we believe SabreMosaic has the potential to bring about a far-reaching transformation in the travel industry. For innovative carriers like Air Serbia, embracing this approach is not just about staying ahead, it’s about taking a big step forward for the entire industry,” said Mike Reyes, Senior Vice President, Product Management at Sabre Travel Solutions.
This strategic partnership builds upon Air Serbia’s existing foundation with Sabre. The airline already utilizes SabreSonic, a comprehensive passenger service system, for efficient operations and a streamlined passenger experience.
In addition, the airline has deployed Sabre’s Pricing and Revenue Optimization suite, which equips it with powerful tools to manage dynamic availability and pricing. Sabre Air Price IQ, a solution powered by AI, helps Air Serbia to optimize the pricing of offers in real time.
