Infini Travel Information, Sabre’s exclusive GDS
distribution partner in Japan, has signed a multi-year agreement with AirTrip
International Corp.
AirTrip will use Sabre’s rich GDS content,
including NDC offers, as well as Sabre’s Bargain Finder Max API, to expand its outbound business.
“This is an important partnership for AirTrip
International, and we are excited by the prospects of this
collaboration,” said Yusuke Shibata, President & Representative
Director / CFO of AirTrip International. “Our mission at AirTrip
is to use advanced products and technologies with our unique
position in the Japanese market to deliver a best-in-class travel
experience for our customers. This mission is even more relevant
as travel recovery gains momentum in Japan. Sabre is
well-positioned to share its next-generation content and
technology which will be an essential component in providing a
superior customer experience.”
Bargain Finder Max utilizes Sabre’s proprietary
shopping algorithm and broad array of rich content to deliver
optimal itinerary offers in seconds. This will enable AirTrip to create customized booking experiences for
travellers by tailoring search results for the most relevant
fares, based on itinerary preferences.
“As travel agencies look to secure a competitive
edge amid continuing recovery, they need a technology partner with
the stability and resources to continue investing in advanced and
new technology solutions,” said Brett Thorstad, Vice President,
Sabre Travel Solutions, Agency Sales – Asia Pacific. “There’s a
huge opportunity for AirTrip International to act fast and
position itself for growth. AirTrip’s decision to become part of
Sabre’s GDS will enable the OTA to tap into expected increased
demand, during the recovery period and beyond.”
