Stuart Nassos, Sabre Travel Network’s vice-president of strategic marketing and sales said: “The number of new carriers that have chosen Sabre distribution over the past year clearly reflects the value the GDS brings to airlines and travel agents. No-frills content is a priority for us, as it is a key need for our travel agency customers, and it will be even more crucial once deregulation moves to Europe.”
