Jamie Biesiada, Travel Weekly
Sabre on Tuesday released its first set of New Distribution Capability application programming interfaces (APIs) with United Airlines, enabling travel agencies partnering with Sabre on its Beyond NDC initiative to make NDC bookings.
Sabre said United is the first major airline to launch with its NDC capabilities. According to Sabre, NDC will enable United to offer additional flight amenities and new fare options to shoppers.
"This development is a significant step forward for the travel industry, because it advances a pan-industry vision and moves NDC closer to becoming an everyday reality for travelers, carriers, agencies, corporations and more," Sabre said in a statement.
