Concurrent with that agreement, Continental also signed a new five-year, full-content agreement with Travelocity.

“We are pleased to provide Sabre subscribers with access to our full content offering through this agreement,” said Jim Compton, executive vice president of marketing, Continental Airlines. “Continental has been a strong advocate for change on distribution efficiency through the GDS channel. This new agreement will help us to make additional progress towards that goal.”
