Cathay Pacific to Provide NDC Content Through Sabre

Cathay Pacific Airways has signed an enhanced agreement with Sabre Corp. to provide New Distribution Capability content to Sabre-connected agencies around the world, Sabre announced.

The agreement will help the carrier as it recovers to “create more differentiated content that is reflective of travelers’ wants and needs today and tomorrow,” according to Cathay Pacific general manager of sales and distribution Martin Xu. The carrier last week announced it would be recruiting 4,000 staff members through the end of 2023 to recover its depleted workforce amid Hong Kong’s strict Covid-19 travel restriction in anticipation of Hong Kong re-establishing itself as a global travel hub, Bloomberg reported.

Cathay Pacific earlier this year signed an agreement with Sabre to use its Fare Manager and Fare Optimizer tools.
